West Ham United have had a very busy summer, as they’ve acquired six new players this transfer window. Tomorrow’s friendly against Celta Vigo will give the home fans a chance to see them in action, in person, for the first time. The Hammers are obviously not done this summer transfer window, as more departures are expected.
Michail Antonio and Danny Ings have been linked with exits, although no deal is close to imminent, for either one, at this time.
