West Ham United manager David Moyes wants to “do more business” before the transfer window is over, but he doubted a possible interest in Jesse Lingard.
Craig Dawson, Thierry Nevers and Alphonse Areola have arrived this summer and the club is spending just £ 2 million on transfer fees.
Manchester United winger Lingard, who scored nine goals and provided four assists on loan last season, the hammers are interesting But there are rumors that the East London club will have a hard time paying for the deal.

Moyes told reporters: “I hope to do more business. We have tried very hard and we are trying to complement a good group of players and give ourselves a few more options at different times. We know we have a challenging season ahead of us. ” but an exciting season. In this business there are no guarantees ”.
On transfer speculation surrounding Jesse Lingard: “The questions are not for me, they are for Manchester United. We have enjoyed having him, but in my opinion he is at Manchester United and it is not for us to argue.
The London Stadium will host 60,000 spectators for the first time since last February Monday night when the Hammers host Leicester.
Still, some experts suggested that West Ham’s success last season – they had the second-best home record in the Premier League – was partly due to a lack of supporters on the field.
Parts of Hammers fans have yet to warm up to the old Olympic Stadium after the move from Upton Park, while some animosity towards owners David Sullivan and David Gold remains.
But Moyes hopes those differences will be pushed aside and a notoriously demanding audience will be more of a help than a hindrance.
“If I am a fan of West Ham, I take it as a criticism and I am going to show them that the team will prosper and that we support the team,” said the Hammers coach.
“It gets interesting. We played very well during the running of the bulls last year. I think we will continue to play well with the audience or without the audience, whatever that is.
“I think that the public can make a big difference. We have 60,000 back in the stadium and I hope they stand behind the team and show their support.
Fans will be delighted if West Ham plays as they did in the second half of last weekend’s 4-2 win over Newcastle.
But Moyes admits he would be just as happy with a 1-0 win as he is pursuing a third straight win over the Foxes.
“I hope we are the West Ham team that wins more than the rest! I would like to be a team of winners and win more games than we lose ”, he added.
“If we can do that in a fun way, score a lot of goals, I would love to do it. But ultimately, winning is my goal and I’m going to try to do it.
