The reality of relegation has been pretty brutal for the Hammers, who have seen their squad cherry picked.
But with the Championship campaign fast on the horizon, there really needs to be a focus now on bringing players into the club.
AZ Alkmaar's Republic of Ireland internationa Troy Parrott has been linked with West Ham, though it could cost upward of £20m to sign him.
Sunderland 's Wilson Isidor was another prominent name linked with the London Stadium, but the Black Cats reportedly have no intention to sell.
However, there could be more look as it pertains to Simon Adingra , with West Ham said to be in discussions with Sunderland over a loan move.
Leicester City centre-back Harry Souttar is also said to be on West Ham's radar, but a reported fee of £10m could be a stumbling block.
