West Ham transfer news: Slaven Bilic expects more summer signings

West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has revealed that his summer spending is not yet over and predicted big things for the east London club during the forthcoming season.

The Croatian took the reins at Upton Park earlier in the summer and is set to oversee his first game this evening when the Hammers take on Andorran minnows Lusitans in the second leg of their Europa League qualifier.

Meanwhile, the Hammers, who recorded a 12th place finish in the Premier League last term, have made several new signings in an effort to strengthen their squad, including Dimitri Payet and Pedro Obiang.

However, although their campaign is already underway, Bilic has warned his rivals that he is still in the market for new additions.

“Our plan is to bring in more players. We are trying to bring in players who we believe can lift us to another stage and make us better.

“We have already signed a few players and brought them into a good team. Sometimes they will click straight away and sometimes it will take a bit of time,” Bilic said.

“We are aware of that and we are going to try and make that adjustment period as short as possible,” he added.

With a move to the Olympic Stadium on the horizon, a new era beckons for the Irons and Bilic believes that his new club could achieve something special.

“We are expecting big things with West Ham. We are not big headed and will take it step by step but the early signs are very promising,” Bilic insisted.
