Pablo Fornals and Sebastien Haller have been the club’s marquee captures so far during the off-season and promise to add plenty of creativity for Manuel Pellegrini – fans may have expected other areas to be looked at though.
Aaron Cresswell has been the target of mass criticism during pre-season, which would lead outsiders to believe West Ham fans want a new left-back, but it looks like Arthur Masuaku will act as first-choice after penning a new long-term deal.
Issa Diop and Fabian Balbuena formed a strong pairing in the heart of the defence last season, so that most likely won’t be changed, but 18-year-old Boavista prospect Goncalo Cardoso is set to join the club for £2.75million.
He’ll offer competition, as well the returning Winston Reid and fellow 31-year-old Angelo Ogbonna, while Declan Rice and Mark Noble to regain their spots in defensive midfield.
Hammers fans should be generally content with how the squad is looking and will be hoping for a strong challenge for European football this season.
