With just over 24 hours to go until the transfer window closes for another summer, excitement is growing among football fans up and down the country.


West Ham United fans have certainly enjoyed a busy summer of transfer activity with 11 new arrivals including the major capture of Simone Zaza from Juventus over the weekend.


I have been told the Italy international is relishing the chance to meet up with his new team-mates this week and will be working hard at the Club's training ground over the international break to get himself fully ready for the next Premier League game against Watford on 10 September.


Reports in the media continue to speculate there could be even more incomings at the Hammers before the window closes.


My sources have confirmed to me that the Club are still working on trying to sign another right back on loan with an option to buy.


It is my understanding that the business for the summer should stop after that, BUT I have been told never say never and the Club will always be open to an exciting late offer.


With regards players leaving, it has been made clear to me that that the Club will never talk about individuals.


But they are considering letting a fringe attacking player go as they are well stocked in that area with the imminent return of Dimitri Payet and new signing Sofiane Feghouli after the break.
