West Ham United- Player In- Demba Ba
Ba made the move from Newcastle to Chelsea in January and has had a fairly successful half a season at Stamford Bridge, scoring a few fantastic goals and generally being a reliable member of Rafa Benitez team. However, now that Jose Mourinho has taken over, it looks like Ba’s stay at Chelsea will be a short one, with Mourinho looking to sign his own strikers. West Ham are ready to offer Ba a new home and would love to pair Ba with Andy Carroll, who recently signed for West Ham permanently. The only problem could be that Chelsea will still demand a fee of around £7 million for Ba and it is unlikely that the Hammers could afford to spend more money on another striker, having paid £15.5 million for Carroll.
West Ham United- Player Out- Carlton Cole
Cole has had a successful career at West Ham, scoring the goals that helped them get promoted back to the Premier League. However, with Andy Carroll at the club last season, he was no longer the clubs first choice striker and with Carroll now becoming a permanent member of West Ham’s team, Cole chances of first team football look slim. A move away from the club could benefit him as he was once a highly rated striker in the Premier League, earning a few England caps when he was at his best.
