The first-team were back at the Club's training ground on Tuesday ahead of the weekend game against Liverpool, but the moves to sign new players are gathering even more pace behind the scenes.
I have been told that the Club will be informed in the next 24 hours if they are going to sign one of the top strikers from a big European League.
There have been negotiations to sign the talented forward and the move is now nearing a conclusion with the Hammers hoping for a positive outcome.
I cannot reveal the player as it will make other Clubs aware with just under a week to go before the transfer window closes.
It is widely known that Slaven Bilic is looking to sign another striker with Enner Valencia, Andy Carroll and Mauro Zarate all sidelined through injury.
The Club have other targets and my sources tell me that a proven striker in the Premier League is also high on the wanted list.
I also believe that the Club are looking to sign a wide player who is extremely fast and possibly another midfielder before the window closes at 6pm on September 1.
