West Ham kick off their Premier League campaign away at Bournemouth later today.
It has been a frustrating summer for the Hammers since winning the Europa Conference League but there now appears to be movement.
Edson Alvarez is through the door, while both Harry Maguire and James Ward-Prowse are set to follow.
Still, David Moyes is still working with the squad who finished last season, minus Declan Rice and Gianluca Scamacca.
The Cherries, meanwhile, are entering an exciting new era under Andoni Iraola.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Bournemouth vs West Ham is scheduled for a 3pm BST kick-off time on Saturday 12 August, 2023.
The Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth will host.
