Slaven Bilic: 'West Ham United looking for one more signing'

By Daniel Lewis, Senior Reporter | 21 August 2016

West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic admits that his transfer business is not yet over, with one more "good" signing needed before the August 31 deadline.

Slaven Bilic has revealed that West Ham United are still in the transfer market for one more addition, although he admits that it will be "very hard" to find the right player.

The Hammers have already spent in excess of £40m this summer to bring in new faces, including the likes of Andre Ayew, Arthur Masuaku, Gokhan Tore and the permanent signing of Manuel Lanzini.

However, United have been hit by a number of injury problems in the early stages of the new campaign, with Andy Carroll the latest to join the list of absentees after picking up a knee injury earlier this week.

Bilic now intends to bring in another new player, telling Sky Sports News: "Are we going to be very active? We are going to try to get one. The chairman is going to be very generous and he will get one if we find the proper one, it's very hard now.

"There is no club in Europe that has been linked with more players than West Ham and most of them are not true. I am going to speak with the chairman and director of recruitment on Monday and if we get one, it's got to be a good one."

West Ham picked up their first win of the season on Sunday evening by seeing off Bournemouth 1-0 at the Olympic Stadium.
