Does Walker-Peters count as two signings? West Ham have hijacked Kyle Walker-Peters' move to Besiktas and on a free transfer he's a good bit of business for basically a reserve right-back now Coufal has left. He'll be a decent addition to the squad particularly as Wan-Bissaka and Diouf could be off to the Africa Cup of Nations in December.
Walker-Peters has plenty of experience with ten games for Spurs and 169 games for Southampton. Don't be fooled by Southampton being rubbish last season, he's played in plenty of seasons where the Saints have prospered in the Ralph Hassenhuttl years. The 28-year-old is also two-footed and can play on the left as well, so is a handy squad player with an England Under-20 pedigree and two full caps. Not every signing has to be worldbeater.
What we really need now is midfield and forward signings, though much will depend on the Paqueta verdict. The latest rumour is a Jack Grealish loan, though we'd have to sign the Grealish sniper too for him to be effective. Another rumour is Bournemouth's Tavernier coming to the London Stadium. The next few weeks should be interesting.
