Hence, negotiations of personal terms will not be a problem for West Ham. This transfer looks like the Hammers are now spending the money from Declan Rice sale. They have already received a part of payment from Arsenal from Declan Rice. Hence, it looks like the Gallagher deal remains within their budget restrictions this summer transfer window.
THE HAMMERS ARE ALSO WORKING ON ANOTHER DEAL FOR THE MIDFIELD
West Ham are also in negotiations with Ajax midfielder Edson Alvarez. This is after his move to Borussia Dortmund collapsed. The Hammers know believe that they are leading the race for his signature. A report also claims that Hammers are also ready to pay at least 35-40 million to Ajax for the midfielder. Whereas, it looks like they will use the rest of the money to balance their financial books.
West Ham spent a huge amount of money last season on transfers. They also won the UEFA Conference League last season. However, they just avoided the relegation battle in the Premier League. Hence, the Hammers do not have a huge budget for this season. David Moyes also hopes to sign a new striker. This is due to exit links of Gianluca Scamacca to Italian clubs and Michail Antonio to Saudi Arabia.
West Ham are aware that they will have to manage Europa League this season. Hence, they need to have a similar size of the squad like last season. They cannot afford to have a smaller season. The Hammers have to make sure that they do not miss Declan Rice for present and the future.
