West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur have been two of the busiest clubs in this summer’s transfer window West Ham have just made contact to sign ‘phenomenal’ Tottenham player on deadline day
When it comes to player arrivals, West Ham have been able to pull off some impressive pieces of business as Julen Lopetegui puts his stamp on the side.
However, Ange Postecoglou has been effective in clearing the Tottenham squad of any unwanted players with 14 having departed this summer.
And for Tottenham, deadline day looks like it could consist of more out outgoings before the window shuts until January.
There could well also be some departures from West Ham with the likes of Danny Ings potentially heading for the exit.
But there could even be some business now done between the two London rivals before the end of play today.

A handful of players have been transferred between sides over the years with the likes of Jermain Defoe and Michael Carrick making the move from West Ham to Spurs.
The Hammers remain in the market for a midfielder with West Ham seeking a deal with Paris Saint-Germain for Carlos Soler.
But it may now be time for the Irons to get their own back on the Lilywhites by taking one of their current players.
According to Charlie Gordons, West Ham have now made contact over a potential move for Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso.
However, it is believed that Real Betis are currently leading the race to sign the Argentina international.

Lo Celso is one of the players who Tottenham are looking to sell today despite having just won the Copa America for the second time.
But Real Betis are showing a serious interest in re-signing Lo Celso; the ‘phenomenal‘ midfielder who Tottenham paid them £55m for a number of years ago.
Before Lo Celso made the move to Tottenham, it is claimed by AS Sport that Lionel Messi had recommended him to Barcelona.
It is believed Messi had told Xavi that Lo Celso was ‘the best player in the national team’ at Argentina as he encouraged the La Liga giants to buy him.
Lo Celso remains a regular in the Argentina side and has now lifted the Copa America twice, but his time at Spurs has not been so successful.
Having been loaned out numerous times, Lo Celso is now looking for a permanent home as he is clearly not in the plans of Postecoglou.
