00:00West Ham United are actively planning for a busy summer transfer window as they look
00:07to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
00:12One key target is goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale who will likely leave relegated Southampton
00:18for around £20m and the 26-year-old wants to stay in the Premier League to maintain
00:23his place in the England squad and West Ham have shown interest, although they must first
00:29decide whether to extend Lukas Fabianski's contract.
00:34The 40-year-old is out of contract this summer and Alphonse Ariona, the 32-year-old, has emerged
00:40as the first-choice goalkeeper, leaving Ramsdale as a potential option to compete for the number
00:46one spot.
00:49In addition to strengthening their goalkeeping department, West Ham are also looking to bolster
00:54their attacking options.
00:56They have been tracking Strasburg striker Emmanuel Emenga, who has impressed in Ligue 1 this
01:02season.
01:03The 22-year-old has attracted attention from several Premier League outfits, including Chelsea,
01:09but West Ham are keen to bring him to the London Stadium.
01:14Emenga could be available for around £22m, making him a potential alternative to Ipswich
01:20Town's Liam DeLapp, whom West Ham have also scouted.
01:25DeLapp's release clause is set to decrease to £30m if Ipswich are relegated, so West Ham
01:32are exploring other options in case they miss out on the young striker.
01:38West Ham are also bracing for the possibility of losing Mohamed Qudas, with reports linking
01:44him to Saudi Arabian side Al Nasser.
01:47If Qudas departs, West Ham will have additional funds to strengthen their squad, with manager
01:53Graham Potter looking to make significant additions as he builds for next season.
02:01The summer transfer window promises to be a crucial one for West Ham as they aim to improve
02:07their squad and avoid another season of struggle in the Premier League.
