**Journalist Mark Carlaw, editor of the [West Ham](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/west-ham-news/) Way website used by club insider ExWHUemployee, has been left excited as ‘fantastic news’ comes out if the club.**

### **The Lowdown: Hammers set for busy summer…**

Hammers boss David Moyes is seeking to build upon his side’s phenomenal rise up the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) over these last few seasons with new faces and upgrades to his squad.

Links have emerged to top attackers and defenders alike, perhaps most notably England international[Jesse Lingard](https://twitter.com/Ekremkonur/status/1534838079021887488) and Rennes star [Nayef Aguerd.](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-transfer-news-daniel-rigge-man-city-b1005307.html?r=88725)

As the first team remains a priority, Moyes has also been planning for the long-term and eyeing up moves for some of the country’s brightest young talents.

West Ham [confirmed](https://www.whufc.com/news/daniel-rigge-signs-scholarship-contract-west-ham-united) on Friday that they’ve signed[‘highly-rated’](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1535018252593729536) starlet Daniel Rigge from Man City, beating [nine rival clubs](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1535018252593729536) in the process.

### The Latest: Carlaw thrilled…

\[freshpress-poll id=”399165″\]

Speaking on [Twitter,](https://twitter.com/mcrugrid/status/1535247795459919872) Carlaw claims the signing of City’s former gem is an ‘unbelievable coup for the club’ – going on to call Rigge ‘one of the brightest young players in English football’.

He also states the England Under-16 international’s arrival is ‘[fantastic news](https://twitter.com/mcrugrid/status/1535235490265419777)‘ as GSB secure a real sensation for West Ham.

### The Verdict: Great news…

Rigge comes to Rush Green with a glowing reputation and is [‘widely considered’](https://www.whufc.com/news/daniel-rigge-signs-scholarship-contract-west-ham-united) to be a major emerging prospect.

The 16-year-old’s arrival on a scholarship contract could provide West Ham and Moyes with a possible superstar in years to come going by how in-demand he was across the nation.

Nine clubs cannot be wrong in their pursuit of Rigge and the Irons have done very well to beat them all to his signing.
