West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan has said that he intends to bring five new signings to the club this summer as the Hammers aim to consolidate Premier League survival next season.
"Our planning has already started to make sure that next season is even better than this one," Sullivan told TalkSport.
"Our aim for the coming season is to bring in four or five players that will strengthen the squad and give Sam Allardyce greater options and variety next season.. a crucial factor in that is recruiting the right players in the right positions. We will be aiming to bring in at least one proven goalscorer to bolster our attacking threat."
Co-chairman David Gold revealed last month that the club would be likely to pursue an entirely new transfer policy this coming summer than the one pursued last summer after promotion to the Premier League, which revolved largely upon signing seasoned top flight professionals such as James Collins and Matt Jarvis.
This summer's transfer policy, according to Gold, is one which will be based around signing 'young, stronger players,' and the media speculation in recent days has reflected that claim, with the Irons being linked with Birmingham star Nathan Redmond and Heerenveen hotshot Alfred Finnbogason.
