To that end, Ex-WHUEmployee, speaking on the West Ham Way podcast and cited by Hammers News, has said that both Brain Kinnear, who was let go by Rangers because of Covid breaches, and Leicester teenager, Gio Loureiro, are on trial at West Ham.
The report also suggests that long-suffering Hammers fans are getting twitchy by a perceived lack of transfer activity, given that the new Premier League season is just a few weeks away.

If they can replicate that form again next season, silverware might be just around the corner.
