‘Celtic striker set for exit as West Ham move gathers pace’
West Ham look set to confirm the signing of a new striker, with the forward joining from Scottish champions Celtic.
The Hammers finished 14th in the Premier League on 43 points, 18 clear of Leicester, who occupied the final space in the bottom three.
Graham Potter took over in the London Stadium dugout at the start of January, but struggled to turn fortunes around in East London.
Out of their last 11 league games, West Ham only won two of them, in what was an anticlimactic end to the season for the Irons.
| Position | Team | Games | Points |
| 13 | Everton | 38 | 48 |

West Ham sign Celtic striker
West Ham are set for a busy summer transfer window, with a number of outgoings and incomings expected in East London.
It seems as if Potter’s side have already secured their first signing, as they look to invest in and develop young talent.
According to Sky Sports journalist Anthony Joseph on X, Daniel Cummings will depart Celtic after completing a medical with West Ham.
The young forward agreed a pre-contract deal with the Hammers back in February, and will join on a four-year deal.
It was rumoured back in January that Cummings may join Wolves or Sunderland, but in the end the 19-year-old has made the move to the London Stadium.
West Ham set for departures
Football Insider Verdict
It has already been confirmed that a number of players will be leaving the Hammers this summer, at the expiration of their contracts.
Aaron Cresswell is leaving West Ham after 11 seasons at the club, with the defender making 367 appearances in his time at the Irons.
The Englishman is one of four out-of-contract players departing at the end of June, with Lukasz Fabianski, Danny Ings, and Vladimir Coufal all on their way.
However, it doesn’t stop there, it is expected that West Ham will sell Mohammed Kudus in the upcoming transfer window in order to raise funds for the players on their shortlist.
With so many players expected to leave, the Hammers must get their transfer strategy right, to ensure that they don’t slip towards the bottom three next season.
