Every day it seems there are new rumours about players who might be joining West Ham.

England defender Fikayo Tomori, who is currently at AC Milan, Leeds' Crysencio Summerville and Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran are the latest.

West Ham are in the uncomfortable position of having money to spend and their priorities - forwards and central defence - being obvious.

Technical director Tim Steidten is busily working his way though the targets to see what deals can be done. Inevitably that means a lot of calls - and a lot of links.

West Ham's non-Euros and Copa America players have flown into Florida for the start of a two-week camp that includes games against Crystal Palace and Wolves.

Meanwhile the rumours will continue until a deal is done.
