- West Ham look to bolster their squad before the start of the 2024/25 Premier League.
- Thus there are 3 West Ham transfer targets that missed their recent friendlies.
3. Arthur Melo
It was reported earlier that Juventus may look to do a swap deal with West Ham involving Kostas Mavropanos and Brazilian midfielder Arthur Melo.
The Brazilian is one of the three Juventus players that will miss the preseason. Transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano reported,
"Dean Huijsen, Arthur Melo and De Sciglio, NOT included as part of Juventus pre-season squad travelling to Germany."

Central midfield is not a big need for West Ham but they can certainly do with adding another squad option. Arthur Melo can play as a box-to-box midfielder as well as a playmaker behind Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus.
But is it worth parting ways with a centre-back when Kurt Zouma has been recently injured in the 1-0 win over Dag and Red.
