West Ham are continuing to make progress in the summer transfer window, with ExWHUEmployee providing an update.

It’s a significant period in the window for the club this summer, with players being targeted as we aim to rebuild the squad ahead of the fast approaching Premier League season.

Our insider has provided a comprehensive update on The West Ham Way Patreon regarding the process of potential deals, with one in particular expected to be confirmed and formally announced today.

Crysencio Summerville

Crysencio Summerville has completed his medical and is due to do his promo shoots and videos tomorrow with an announcement expected then.

The club were very torn between Summerville and Nelson. A loan and then option to buy was close to being agreed with Arsenal but overall the two deals worked out the same value roughly after the loan and after much deliberation Summerville was given the nod.

Jhon Duran

Duran’s agents are said to be concerned at the develops with Fullkrug and are desperate for Villa to accept our offer.  Should they do West Ham will have an interesting dilemma as to what to do next.

Perhaps something would come with the Fullkrug deal, maybe one deal would turn to a loan, perhaps Duran could be revisited in January when he should cost less. There are a few alternatives being considered by the club.

Guido Rodriguez

Guido Rodriguez has agreed to join West Ham and will have a medical with the club.

The club have secretly been working on this deal behind the scenes and was one of the transfers that we were asked to keep quiet because of the fact he was a free agent and assumed to be moving elsewhere with Barcelona said to have signed him and then Turkish side Fenerbahçe being reported to have been on the brink.

Of course, this was frustrating for us but as Dharmesh has explained on our show sometimes it is not worth burning bridges for one story.

Niclas Füllkrug

A fee has been agreed between Borussia Dortmund and West Ham for the forward Niclas Füllkrug although it isn’t said to be as much as the reported figure doing the rounds.

The club have assured me it’s for less and they will update me on the actual figure when all official. The player has essentially agreed a contract as well.

Both the transfer fee and players contract are pretty much done but there are a few clauses and bonuses etc that needs sorting. We reported interest in the player last year and this has remained and been acted on this summer

Aaron Wan-Bisakka

Aaron Wan-Bisakka is also close and the clubs are trying to negotiate the transfer fee still. It is thought the player has agreed to join now.

There has been some talk that Inter Milan are still circulating but I don’t know how genuine this is and again could be a tactic now by Manchester United to get us to hurry up. If they do come in and Wan-Bisakka chooses to go there which I think is unlikely, Man U won’t sign Noussair Mazraoui and we would probably go back in for him.

So either way we should be getting a right back soon but this is expected to be AWB, a transfer we exclusively revealed right at the start of the window.
