West Ham are in for a busy summer with Julen Lopetegui looking set to take over from the departing David Moyes. Lucas Paqueta and Mohammed Kudus are just two players already likely to leave the London Stadium amid interest from Manchester City and Liverpool respectively, but the Irons are closely monitoring who they can bring into the side in order to climb back up and target the European qualification places ahead next season.
One name mentioned to be brought into the fold is Brentford’s Ivan Toney, while Fulham’s Tosin Adarabioyo could be another option, with the Hammers thought to be one of a host of clubs in the mix once he becomes a free agent ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.
However, Football Manager‘s latest prediction has offered a fresh twist on what the situation could look like come August at the London Stadium. Here is every player the Irons could sign in a £100 million spending spree in the upcoming transfer window, including an alternative Moyes replacement in the dugout...
1. Wilfried Gnonto (£64m)
Football Manager predicts the Leeds and Italian winger to be sold for £64 million. The 20-year-old has ten league goals for the club and from February to mid-March this year, he enjoyed a run of form that saw him score seven goals. | Getty Images
