klasemen-tim-nasional-sepak-bola-swiss.comda luck： West Ham are off to the Olympic Stadium next season and will be playing in front of 60,000 Hammers every other week from now on.
da leao： This move will surely cement the Irons’ place as one of England’s biggest clubs and Londoners have plenty of money to spend this summer to ease their transition. West Ham’s current transfer record fee is just £15m – paid for striker Andy Carroll – so surely Slaven Bilic could smash that, considering players will want to play at the Olympic Stadium and join West Ham on their quest for European football.
West Ham finished a very respectable 7th in the league in their last year at the Boleyn Ground, but will need to recruit some new stars in order to really compete. So here are FIVE players that West Ham could sign this summer and slaughter their transfer record…
Theo Walcott
Unfortunately for Theo Walcott, he has never really lived up to the potential many thought he had as a 16 year old arriving in north London in 2006.
10 years on, times have changed, Walcott is not even in England’s 26 man provisional squad for EURO 2016 after a poor season at the Emirates but there is no denying that Walcott’s pace, passing ability and shot conclude that Walcott is worth at least £20m and could be a great signing for West Ham this summer.
Alexandre Lacazette
Lacazette has had a tremendous season in France. The 24 year old has been scoring goals for fun in Ligue 1 and surely is capable of doing the same in the Premier League. Lacazette is still young and has plenty of years ahead of him to improve and score plenty more, but if he could match his goalscoring record of 21 goals this season at the Olympic Stadium, West Ham could be a real force next season. The Frenchman may cost in the region of £25m but he is worth the gamble.
Christian Benteke
Last striker here, like Walcott, Benteke didn’t quite manage to live up to his high expectations this season at Anfield. That said, Benteke is one of the most feared strikers in Europe when he is in form. In a poor season, Benteke still scored nine goals and grabbed three assists, however the Belgian managed 42 goals in his last three Premier League seasons at Aston Villa. He could cost around £20m and he would surely be worth it.
Georginio Wijnaldum
It’s a great shame that Newcastle United were relegated this season. Their fans definitely did not deserve the poor performances that the team gave them throughout this term and even despite Rafa Benitez’s revitalisation of the side, the Magpies may find it hard to keep hold of their stars such as Wijnaldum.

The Dutch midfielder won’t want to be playing in the Championship next season and if Bilic coughs up close to £20m, I am sure Newcastle will find it too hard to resist. Wijnaldum was one positive in a miserable season in the North East.
Andriy Yarmolenko
Yarmolenko has seemingly been linked with every Premier League club over the last few years, Everton were reported to have a deal with the Ukrainian but there have been no reports on that for months.
The 26 year old could be a perfect fit at West Ham and would bring tons of experience, pace, skill and goals to the West Ham side. If the Hammers bid £20m, Yarmolenko would surely be theirs.
