Indeed, reports suggest West Ham are not finished after the signings of Nayef Aguerd, Flynn Downes, Alphonse Areola, Gianluca Scamacca, Maxwel Cornet, Thilo Kehrer and Emerson.
Club Brugge star Hans Vanaken and Flamengo forward Lazaro remain heavily linked with a move to Rush Green, as do a couple of Chelsea players.
The Latest: West Ham plot ‘daring’ Gallagher bid…
According to a new piece of information, Hammers head coach Moyes is personally ‘ready to swoop’ for Gallagher.
What’s more, The Sun state that West Ham are ‘plotting a daring bid’ to sign the 22-year-old on loan with Newcastle United and Crystal Palace also in the frame.
It’s added Moyes wants to inject ‘pace and power’ into his ranks with Gallagher standing out as a late target.
The Verdict: Make the move?
Homegrown and fresh off the back of a brilliant campaign on loan at Palace last year, Gallagher could provide West Ham with real final third quality.
Called a ‘very exciting player’ by ex-Leeds United striker Noel Whelan, the Stamford Bridge sensation finished 21/22 as Palace’s best-performing player by average match rating and was also among Patrick Vieira’s most selected players in the top flight (WhoScored).
His eight goals and three league assists in that time stand out as another incentive for West Ham to try and get a deal over the line before September 1.
