# David Gold takes to Twitter to welcome new West Ham signings

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/09/01/pundit-labels-west-ham-ace-jarrod-bowen-a-world-beater/) co-owner David Gold took to social media on Wednesday night to welcome a host of new arrivals following a busy end to the summer transfer window.

Having bided their time to get into action, the Hammers finished with a flurry as Kurt Zouma, Alex Kral and [Nikola Vlasic](https://readwestham.com/2021/08/31/virals-journalist-claims-nikola-vlasic-to-west-ham-is-a-done-deal/) all arrived in the final few days.

That trio [joined French goalkeeper Alphonse Areola](https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2021/july/29-july/west-ham-united-sign-world-cup-winning-goalkeeper-alphonse-areola) as the new faces at the London Stadium ready for the 2021/22 campaign.

Often a controversial figure amongst the Irons’ fanbase, Gold was all too happy to celebrate the quartet on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/davidgold/status/1433190220195901445?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1433190220195901445%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fd-3435588971872642849.ampproject.net%2F2108192119000%2Fframe.html).

Hammers will have to wait at least [nine days](https://www.whufc.com/fixtures/first-team/fixtures-and-results) to see their new men in action as international football takes centre stage before David Moyes’ side face Southampton at St Mary’s.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

In truth, there can be very few complaints at the [summer transfer business](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/west-ham-united/transfers/verein/379), albeit a long time in the offing.

Perhaps only a [striker alternative](https://www.whufc.com/teams/first-team/squad) could have been added to round off what was a superb window.

Although the likes of Jarrod Bowen, Pablo Fornals and Vlasic are capable of playing centrally, none occupy the role as [comprehensively](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/michail-antonio/leistungsdaten/spieler/104124) as Michail Antonio – something that could hurt in the long run.
