West Ham United have yet to receive a single bid for striker Jordan Hugill this summer, per ClaretandHugh.

What’s the word?

The club are attempting to shift some unwanted first-team stars this summer.

Indeed, Football FanCast understands that manager Manuel Pellegrini is looking to add to his promised transfer kitty of £30m in this transfer window.

West Ham have already spent £24m on Pablo Fornals and have also signed goalkeepers Roberto and David Martin.

Hugill, then, is one player who could be moved on, with Preston North End linked with a move to re-sign their former charge. However, no bids have yet been lodged, per ClaretandHugh, while midfielder Pedro Obiang has also yet to attract an offer.

Ground to a halt

There has been precious little transfer activity at West Ham since the signing of Fornals.

Sources have told FFC that there is no movement, with no transfers close to completion, despite links with Celta Vigo striker Maxi Gomez.

That may be because of this report, with West Ham unable to trim their wage bill by offloading those deemed expendable, moves that would also increase the transfer kitty.

It is a worrying sign considering what the squad needs; the club only have two strikers currently, in Javier Hernandez and Marko Arnautovic, while they also require depth in defensive midfield, with Declan Rice the only specialist option at the club.

Such incomings appear unlikely though, unless the likes of Hugill and Obiang are moved on swiftly.
