West Ham supporters chatting to the barman here in the Transfer Tavern are calling for Slaven Bilic to get a move on in the transfer window.

The Hammers had one of the worst defensive records in the Premier League last season shipping 64 goals, only worsened by four teams.

So far the Croat has called upon longstanding Manchester City right-back Pablo Zabaleta to shore up his backline, but Hammers fans are eagerly anticipating more arrivals.

In terms of attacking options, West Ham simply cannot rely on Andy Carroll or Diafra Sakho.

Both strikers have had long lay-offs in the past year and the Hammers are in desperate need for reinforcements.

Former Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez has been linked with a move to the London Stadium and the club are in talks with his current side Bayer Leverkusen.

After an early season slump, West Ham recovered to claim 11th in the Premier League.

Bilic will be keen for a positive start, which means he needs to cut loose those holding his team back.

And these TWO players surely won’t be in his first match day squad...

Robert Snodgrass

The winger had a disastrous end to the season after completing a January switch from Hull City.

The £10m man failed to make a positive impression on his new supporters and is being linked with a move back to the Championship.

Sunderland are trying to attract him to the North East and are hoping the fact he played for manager Simon Grayson at Leeds United will help their cause.

Reece Burke

The youngster who is a product of the West Ham academy, has failed to emerge into the first-team.

Burke has previously spent time on loan at Wigan and Bradford, and could be set for another move away.

The Englishman can use the opportunity to gain valuable experience for the side recently promoted to the Championship.

Co-starlet Reece Oxford has already joined Borussia Monchengladbach on loan.
