The punters here inside the Football Transfer Tavern are starting to get excited about the upcoming Euros in France, with them all hoping it’ll finally be England’s year!
England, Russia, Slovakia and Wales will be battling in France this summer in Group B, and a couple of Hammers fans here in the Tavern have started to delve deeper into the group.
West Ham have plenty of cash in their bank account and could be a real threat for the Champions League positions, if they spend it carefully – and the Hammers fans are getting incredibly excited about this….
With plenty of talent on show and with West Ham moving to the Olympic Stadium, here are FIVE EURO 2016 Group B players that Slaven Bilic should definitely keep his eye on over the next few weeks and look to sign…..

Joe Allen
Perhaps a surprise pick here, but Joe Allen has been very restricted in his playing time at Anfield this season and would surely prefer to be playing first-team football.
Allen clearly has the quality to break into the West Ham side and a bid could surely persuade Jurgen Klopp to let the Welshman go.
Andros Townsend
This could be an extremely controversial transfer given the fact that Townsend grew up at West Ham’s London rivals Tottenham.
However the English winger is surely far too good to be playing in the Championship with Newcastle, and would definitely prefer to be playing in the Premier League.
Townsend is powerful and has an incredible shot and could definitely be a key player for West Ham.
Aaron Ramsey
Another very unlikely transfer is Aaron Ramsey.
The Welshman has frustrated many Arsenal fans this season with many supporters in North London wanting Ramsey to leave.
If Ramsey was to leave the Emirates, West Ham would be a perfect place for him to go, especially after only recently becoming a father, Ramsey may not want to leave London.
Aleksandr Kokorin
Kokorin has been a star for the Russian side for a long time now and has been in incredible form for Zenit St Petersburg too.
The 25- year-old forward has 11 goals for his country and may be on West Ham’s radar, after their bid for Alexandre Lacazette was rejected by Marseille.
What a signing this could be.
Jamie Vardy
Surely not?
West Ham are apparently keen on Leicester’s hero and Barclays player of the season, Jamie Vardy.
The champions will of course be reluctant to let Vardy go, but with West Ham having endless amounts of cash and a brand new stadium, Vardy may be attracted to London life with the West Ham fans, it may be unlikely, but Tevez was a Hammer not long ago…
