In our exciting new feature on whufc.com, the Boleyn Insider blog will bring you exclusive insight into the behind-the-scenes goings on at the Boleyn Ground.

The Boleyn Insider will try to offer a digest on the latest gossip from around the Club and the major transfer speculation surrounding the first-team. In his first blog today, he looks at the first signings that could be made under new manager Slaven Bilic.


With the transfer window having re-opened on Wednesday, there is un-told speculation over possible arrivals this summer, but I will be doing my best to give you all the exclusive news first.

The Club have been busy this week unveiling Slaven Bilic as the new manager, but that has not stopped the process of trying to strengthen the squad and bringing in more exciting new signings.

After the talks with the new manager, I understand that the Club have made a multi-million pound offer for a top French international and they should know within a few days if the bid has been accepted or not.

I have also heard the Hammers were looking at another top striker from Africa who is rated one of the best strikers in France but it has been reported that he may opt to join another Premier League club.

I also believe that our first major signing of the summer will be arriving at the Club this afternoon following a medical.

After several players departed at the end of last season, I know the manager will also be busy trying to secure some big name loan moves in the near future and talks are planned with a couple of targets.

You should stay tuned to whufc.com for all the major developments taking place at the Boleyn Ground throughout the summer.

I will bring you more news as and when I have it.
