The Hammers added midfielder Nikola Vlasic from CSKA Moscow earlier today, making him their third signing of the summer.

 

However, with West Ham set to play in the Europa League in addition to Premier League this term, boss David Moyes wanted to further bolster his midfield options and the club were pushing to land Kral from Spartak Moscow.

 

 

The London side accelerated their efforts throughout the day and have now managed to rope in Kral on an initial loan move with an obligation to buy, with him becoming their second deadline day signing.

 

Having roped in two more midfielders, West Ham are currently not expected to make any further signings in the remaining hours of the transfer window.

 

 

Moyes’ side have begun their Premier League campaign on a strong note, putting together and undefeated run in their opening three games and the Hammers faithful will be hoping the new boys will further up the standards at the club.

 

In addition to the midfield duo, West Ham bolstered their defence by bringing in Kurt Zouma from Chelsea on a permanent deal, while adding more competition between the sticks by roping in Alphonse Areola from Paris Saint-Germain on loan

 

 

Although the West Ham are tipped to become quiet on the transfer front in terms of incomings, they could still see some departures with the likes of Xande Silva linked with a deadline day exit.
