West Ham Deadline Day Updates

You can expect many players to be linked with West Ham and as per usual it's likely that very few of the layers being linked will join our current batch of players.

Already this morning it's being reported that the Max Gradel deal is in the balance after talks apparently broke down after the player jetted into London to hold talks with our club. The deal is completely dead but at this moment in time it is looking unlikely.

It's also being reported that we are in for Qpr winger Shaun Wright Phillips. The ex England international is wanted by ourselves and Stoke, with it being reported that he would prefer to stay in London. I would be very surprised if two wingers were brought in and if I had to choose; my preference would be to sign the younger Gradel.

Napoli right back Pablo Armero is close to sealing a move to Upton Park according to various sources, as Joey O'Brien is currently out with a dislocated shoulder, Armero should be a fantastic signing.

It also looks as if our interest in Olympiacos frontman Kostas Mitroglou is very much concrete with it being confirmed that ourself and Fulham look set to battle it out for the Greek goal machine.

Departues are also looking very likely with Modibo Maiga, Mohammed Diame, Ravzan Rat and Alou Diarra all looking set to leave to raise funds.

One bit of news that could be of some interest to West Ham fans is the failed takeover of Leeds United, last week it was announced that we had put in a bid for Leeds frontman/Captain Ross Mccormack, with the offer being rebuffed I wouldn't be surprised to see interest in Ross starting to regain momentum.
