The Evening Standard have now shared a promising West Ham United transfer update involving Club Brugge attacker Hans Vanaken.

The Lowdown: Hammers eye move...

The Hammers are chasing a deal for Vanaken as manager David Moyes sets his sights on even more reinforcements.

Talks for Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri have reportedly been held with an offer having also gone in for Brugge's star man.

The 2022/2023 Premier League season is underway but West Ham haven't exactly got off to a hot start, losing both of their opening games of this new campaign.

Taking this into account, it's arguably imperative that the east Londoners seal major first team upgrades in needed departments before September 1.

The Latest: West Ham confident...

In regards to Vanaken, The Evening Standard have now shared a pretty promising update.

They claim that West Ham are 'confident of agreeing a fee' for the 29-year-old and have definitely held discussions to sign him for Moyes this summer.

As well as this, the big name news source also states that Vanaken himself is 'keen on a move to the London Stadium'.

The Verdict: Get it done?

Standing at a colossal 6 foot 4, the Jupiler Pro League star isn't just perfect for England physically, but he also has an eye for goal.

Indeed, throughout his professional career, Vanaken has totalled 145 senior career goals and could be the type of attacking outlet which could seriously hand Moyes a different option in the forward positions.

Valued at around £14.4 million by Transfermarkt, a figure in and around this fee could represent good business if the Belgium international can translate his form to English football.
