Desperate Search for New Signings: West Ham Advertise for 7 Players on TransferRoom

West Ham are desperately seeking to add new players to their squad and have taken to TransferRoom, an online marketplace utilized by 650 clubs, to advertise for seven positions. The London club hasn’t made any senior signings for the summer transfer window so far, with the sale of captain Declan Rice to Arsenal for £105million last month at the forefront.

The arrival of new technical director Tim Steidten, 44, at the beginning of July has caused tension with manager David Moyes, who has been fervent about recruiting British and homegrown players. Despite the club’s attempts at signing Harry Maguire, James Ward-Prowse, Conor Gallagher and Scott McTominay, deals have failed to take off, reducing the size of the team going into the new season in a week’s time.

West Ham have now taken to TransferRoom in search of a left-back, centre-back, defensive midfielder, central midfielder, striker, winger and No 10, all coming with a budget of £20million each. The club are not just exploring what is available in the transfer market, but also looking into loan options. The Athletic, who have released a statement but been declined by West Ham, have seen the posts and highlighted that it is a rare occurrence for a Premier League team to advertise on TransferRoom.

With the new season upcoming, Moyes’ team are under pressure to solidify a crew after ending West Ham’s 43-year wait for a trophy last season. The side will initially have to face teams such as Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool and Brighton, as well as Bournemouth and newly-promoted Luton, in their first six games.

West Ham Transfer Hunt: Premier League Club Take to TransferRoom for 7 Squad Positions

West Ham’s increasingly desperate attempts to increase their squad size has seen them turn to TransferRoom, an online marketplace used by 650 clubs around the world. With no senior signings made against during this summer transfer window, their unique approach has raised ding-bats as to why the Premier League side are opting for such an unconventional route.

The first signs of distress occurred when the East London club transferred over captain Declan Rice to Arsenal for £105million in June, the sale forcing the club’s newly appointed technical director, 44-year-old Tim Steidten, into challenging cross-roads with manager David Moyes, who has been adamant about recruiting British and homegrown players.

Despite interest for Harry Maguire, James Ward-Prowse, Conor Gallagher and Scott McTominay, nothing has taken shape, leaving the team sparsely populated leading into the new season in a week’s time. The posts, viewed by The Athletic, search for a left-back, centre-back, defensive midfielder, central midfielder, striker, winger and No 10, all at a budget of £20million each and with an open foray into the loan market. TransferRoom being used is a rarity for a Premier League side, adding to the mystery of why West Ham have opted for such a platform.

Victory in the Europa Conference League was met with jubilation last season, ending West Ham’s 43-year wait for a trophy. Now the team must prepare for a difficult start to the new season, taking on Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool and Brighton, as well as Bournemouth and newly-promoted Luton, in their first six games.

West Ham’s increasingly desperate search for new players is leading them down an unconventional path, advertising for seven squad positions on TransferRoom, an online marketplace usually utilized by 650 clubs from all over the world. Since the departure of captain Declan Rice to Arsenal last month for £105million, the Premier League team have failed to make any senior signings, an inability to add to the team size leading them to the online market.

Tim Steidten’s furniture of technical director at the start of July hasn’t been an easy fit, the 44-year-old butting heads with manager David Moyes over the recruitment of UK-based players. West Ham’s pursuits for Harry Maguire, James Ward-Prowse, Conor Gallagher and Scott McTominay have repeatedly kicked away opposition, seriously thinning out the squad going into the new season in less than week.

The position vacancies, seen by The Athletic, are in search of a left-back, centre-back, defensive midfielder, central midfielder, striker, winger and No 10, with the discussed budget for each not going beyond £20million, plus the addition of loan options. An odd sight in the Premier League, West Ham’s move to TransferRoom is making people question the inner ambition and strategy of the side.

It was a West Ham team of the past that ended the club’s 43-year wait for a trophy on the win of the Europa Conference League last season, and now Moyes’ troops must power through an impressive line up of fixtures, with Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool and Brighton on the fray, and Bournemouth and newly-promoted Luton in the opening six games.

West Ham’s escalating need for new players has led to an unprecedented move from the East London club, advertising for seven squad positions on TransferRoom, an international online marketplace used by 650 clubs from all over the globe. After selling captain Declan Rice for £105million the month prior, West Ham have yet to make any senior signings for the summer transfer window, forcing their hand to take an unconventional route.

Tension between new technical director, 44-year-old Tim Steidten, and manager David Moyes has been mounting due to Moyes’ efforts to recruit British and homegrown players. Attempts to bring in Harry Maguire, James Ward-Prowse, Conor Gallagher and Scott McTominay have all been met with failure, leaving the team with a skeleton crew going into the new season in seven days.

This aspect of the move has shocked the football community, with a Premier League team actively advertising on TransferRoom being something that hardly anyone expected.

Moyes’s triumph in the Europa Conference League ended West Ham’s 43-year wait for a trophy, now the team faces a daunting prospect of the beginning of the new season, covering a tricky line up of teams such as Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool and Brighton, as well as Bournemouth and newly-promoted Luton, all within the first six games.
