West Ham United is gearing up for a crucial summer transfer window as they look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. The club is particularly focused on retaining 21-year-old Portugal international Mateus Fernandes, who has attracted interest from top clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United. West Ham United values Fernandes at £80 million and hopes to keep him for another year to aid their promotion efforts. With the club having not played in the second tier since 2011, preparations are already in motion for life in the Championship. Key decisions during this transfer window will be led by Nuno Espirito Santo, the incoming director of football, and majority shareholder David Sullivan. Nuno's influence will be significant, especially after successfully bringing in players like Taty Castellanos and Adama Traore in January. The recruitment team, including scouts and analysts, will support the club's strategy by providing data profiles of potential transfer targets. Among the players on West Ham United's radar is Sheffield United midfielder Sydie Peck, who has shown great promise in the Championship. The club has a history of successful signings from the EFL, and they are keen to build on that track record as they navigate this pivotal transfer period.
