Nuno says West Ham signings are coming soon

Nuno Espirito Santo says West Ham are taking their time over recruitment because they cannot afford transfer mistakes, while insisting new arrivals will come soon.

The head coach said preserving squad togetherness matters and that recruits must be right for the positions and purpose required. It is a clear outline of the plan, but not a timetable, and he named no targets.

Claret&Hugh also reported that Callum Wilson, Adama Traore, Axel Disasi and Mateus Fernandes had left, with Crysencio Summerville expected to follow. That helps explain the urgency around recruitment, although those departures are not independently confirmed by the supplied report.
