West Ham transfer news: How Hammers could look next season with ‘the next Luka Modric’, AC Milan star and Maxi Gomez
Manuel Pellegrini’s plans to transform West Ham United into a ‘big club’ are well and truly underway.The Chilean took charge of the east London club little more than a year ago and set about changing the mentality of the Hammers’ from a mid-table side to European contenders.getty4

Manuel Pellegrini is keen to start a revolution in the East End

Despite a tumultuous start to his reign in the East End, Pellegrini steadied the ship and wins over Tottenham Hotspur and Watford away from home at the end of the season suggested the mentality may have already changed.The former Manchester City boss is not content with simply finishing in mid-table however and rumours emanating from the club suggest there is big business to be done.Manchester United fan Chris says he doesn't want Bale or Messi at club So far, the club have signed two goalkeepers – David Martin and Roberto Jimenez Gago – to provide back up for Hammer of the Year Lukasz Fabianksi.Barcelona midfielder Andre Gomes has been linked, as has Juan Cuadrado of Juventus.But it seems as though director of football Mario Husillos has moved quickly and identified far more suitable targets.

Fenerbahce captain Hasan Ali Kadirim is a target, with the BBC reporting a deal could be completed for as little as 4.4million due to his contract expiring in 12 months time.AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie has been linked with a 30million move, with Tottenham Hotspur also interested according to the Daily Express.And Maxi Gomez is again on West Ham’s radar after the Hammers’ brief flirtation in January, with Celta Vigo team-mate Stanislav Lobokta – dubbed ‘the new Luka Modric’ also being considered.getty4

So how could West Ham look with their rumoured transfer targets?Below, talkSPORT.com has created a potential starting XI for next season using two of Pellegrini’s preferred formations.

4-3-3

Manuel Pellegrini has often used a 4-3-3 formation throughout his managerial career

At times last season, West Ham were unplayable in Manuel Pellegrini’s preferred 4-3-3 formation.After being battered by Liverpool on the opening day of the season, the Hammers outplayed this season’s European champions in the reverse fixture.With Declan Rice slowly developing into a world beater in central midfield, the additions of Kessie and Lobotka alongside him would only fortify West Ham’s midfield.For anyone doubting Turkey international Ali Kaldirim’s credentials at left back, check out this glowing review from the recent international against France.

With Maxi Gomez leading the line, the robust Uruguay international would create space for Arnautovic and Anderson to roam freely and wreak havoc – something they did to great effect at times last season.

4-4-2 (Attacking midfielder)

Either Marko Arnuatovic or Manuel Lanzini could be deployed in the No.10 role

While at Man City, Pellegrini often sometimes reverted to a classic 4-4-2 formation with a very slight twist.His first ever meeting with rivals Manchester United saw him play Fernandinho and Yaya Toure in central midfield together, with the big Ivorian breaking through the middle to create.Jesus Navas kept the width on the right-hand side, with Samir Nasri cutting inside from the left. Up front, Alvaro Negredo and Sergio Aguero were able to pull David Moyes’ side apart.City won 4-1 that afternoon at the Etihad and went on to win the title. While it is almost inconceivable the Hammers can achieve that, there is no doubt attacking teams without fear can bring them success as the season progresses.
