West Ham will have all eyes on the upcoming summer window.
It is likely to be a busy few months for the Hammers as Graham Potter prepares for his first transfer season in charge in E20.
As a result, the Englishman and his associates are going to be active and will be hopeful of building a competitive squad at the London Stadium.
With several transfer rumours and other news surrounding the East London club, West Ham Zone rounds up all the news from 16 June.

Edson Alvarez hailed by Mexican media in Dominican Republic win
It is fair to say that the 27-year-old has struggled to adapt to life in the Premier League since completing a move from Ajax.

This has often seen the midfielder resigned to a role as a substitute, especially after the return of James Ward-Prowse from his Nottingham Forest loan.
Despite this, Alvarez has remained as a mainstay in the Mexico national team, starting against the Dominican Republic on 15 June at the SoFi Stadium in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
After netting the opener and assisting the third in a 3-2 win, ESPN (15 June) handed the midfielder the man of the match award with a rating of 8/10 for his performance.
Aguilas Monumental journalist Julio Rodriguez echoed this sentiment by stating (15 June) that he makes a massive difference from set pieces.

Sullivan could save West Ham in Dominic Calvert-Lewin deal
The Irons are in need of a new striker option after the failings of Niclas Fullkrug throughout his debut season in the Premier League.
With that in mind, Football Transfer has reported (14 June) that a move has been set in motion to sign Calvert-Lewin after his Everton departure.
It has been claimed that the East London club must are prepared to better his current £100k-a-week salary after a deal was turned down at Goodison.
Funnily enough, West Ham were offered the Calvert-Lewin for £35million last summer, but Sullivan rejected the transfer due to fitness concerns.
Now the Hammers could land the number nine on a free contract if they are willing to improve his wages, showcasing that patience is a virtue even in the world of football transfers.
West Ham could now sign Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea
After such a disappointing season all around, there is a general need for a number of additions in E20 moving into the new season.
This will certainly be the case in the backline even after Jean-Clair Todibo completed a permanent move to West Ham.
With that in mind, Chelsea’s Chalobah has been put forward as a target by Martin Allen, who believes the Hammers could take advantage of the Blues’ financial concerns to pull off a move.
Stat (Premier League 24/25) Trevoh Chalobah
Appearances 25
Tackles won 23
Duels won 106
Trevoh Chalobah Chelsea stats 24/25
Speaking exclusively to West Ham Zone, Allen said: “It seems at Chelsea, like Chalobah, who got into the England squad and the Chelsea first team, his name seems to be bandied about quite often.
“Maybe it’s because he’s a homegrown player and he’ll help with their finances. If he were available and West Ham could squeeze a deal out, I would certainly take him because he’s quick and a good defender.
“*He would definitely be one whom I would be looking to get on board.*“
