West Ham United have had a fantastic summer in the transfer market, bringing in a total of eight new players.
As soon as the transfer window opened, the Hammers wasted no time in securing signings like Luis Guilherme, Wes Foderingham, and Max Kilman.
In early August, West Ham added three more players to their squad with the arrivals of Crysencio Summerville, Niclas Fullkrug, and Guido Rodriguez at the London Stadium.
The Hammers continued to strengthen their team by signing Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice and Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Manchester United.
With a strong squad already in place, West Ham now look like they could be a real threat in the upper echelons of the table.
Paul Merson has highlighted one player in particular, Crysencio Summerville, who he is eager to see perform for West Ham this season.
Summerville, who impressed in the Championship last season with Leeds, will face tougher competition in the Premier League, according to Merson.
The former player turned pundit predicts a 1-1 draw between West Ham and Aston Villa in the opening game of the season, expecting a difficult match for both teams.
Merson believes that a draw would be a positive result for both clubs, acknowledging the challenges that come with playing in Europe for Villa’s players and the need for West Ham’s new signings to gel together quickly.
