West Ham United boss David Moyes does not want to get embroiled in a money-spending contest as he attempts to continue his growth of the club.
Already this summer, the Hammers have spent around £125million on summer signings while still working towards a move to sign Lyon midfielder Lucas Paqueta in a deal that would make him one of the club’s most expensive signings in their history.
However, the club have made seven signings off the back of a successful two years that has seen them finish sixth and seventh in the Premier League, reach the semi-finals of last season’s Europa League and qualify for this season’s Europa Conference League.
