The January transfer window has slammed shut, meaning clubs in England’s top four divisions can no longer buy, sell or loan players until this season ends.
Having spent around £160million on eight new signings in the summer, it was always likely that West Ham ’s spending will be kept to a minimum in the January window.
West Ham signed just two players in the window, starting off with the free acquisition of Brazilian centre-back Luizao from Sao Paulo, initially for the club’s academy.
