West Ham could be looking to bring in two more players, according to a breaking report from Hammers News.
The update includes quotes from a London Stadium source responding to questions about West Ham’s pursuit of Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey and young Senegalese striker Idrissa Gueye.
While the source appeared to confirm that the Hammers are indeed chasing two more signings, there was a sting in the tail: “We need to move a few fringe players out first before moving our other targets due to FFP rules.”

Claret & Hugh have already learned today that one of those departures is unlikely to be Tomáš Souček, who is set to remain at the club. That means West Ham will be relying on sales of players such as Emerson and Andy Irving, while also attempting to offload the likes of Guido Rodríguez and Maxwel Cornet.
The positive news is that the club remain in the market for both a striker and a midfielder—two areas where the squad still looks short, especially in terms of pace.
For now, it seems any arrivals hinge on clearing space in the wage bill and generating funds through sales.
