West Ham agree personal terms with game-changing second signing as AC Milan admit defeat

After landing young striker Daniel Cummings, West Ham have now agreed personal terms with a game-changing second signing – beating AC Milan to his signature.

West Ham confirmed signing strikers and midfielders was the top priority this summer.

Graham Potter is looking to bring in at least two forwards while West Ham’s ageing and immobile midfield is set to be completely overhauled.

The Hammers are lining up a host of sales to pay for Potter’s plans.

West Ham have issued a major update on the future of Mohammed Kudus.

It’s been revealed three Premier League clubs have registered their interest and the Hammers are awaiting official bids.

West Ham making early transfer moves

With Kudus and a number of others being shipped out, West Ham know they have funds coming in.

Space has already been cleared with the departure of six players.

Michail Antonio could make that seven in the coming weeks.

The Hammers are targeting at least five signings as part of Potter’s rebuild around young, exciting stars.

The manager wants to trim the squad down to 19 or 20 senior pros as he feels the current 26-man squad is too bloated for a team not in Europe.

After the season-ending win at Ipswich Potter made a bold claim about West Ham’s transfer plans.

The Hammers boss said his head of recruitment Kyle Macaulay has been ‘very busy’ and that he will now work with him and David Sullivan to get stuck into an ‘exciting and interesting’ summer revamp – even while on a family holiday.

It seems he was not exaggerating either.

Young Celtic striker Daniel Cummings has been confirmed as West Ham’s first signing of the summer.

Cummings  has agreed to join the Hammers to be part of Potter’s first-team squad.
