Transfer Rumours

With Brown again hinting that there will be money available to Pardew, the long summer of transfer rumours has begun.

This week West Ham are linked with Sunderland leftback/winger Julio Arca, who is said to fancy a £1.5 million move to West Ham because of the opportunity to play in Europe.

Barcelona midfielder Gabri is also once again being linked with West Ham. The former Spanish international, who rejected the chance to join the Hammers in January, is coming to the end of his contract, and is seeking a move away from the Camp Nou.

"I must recognise that I would like to have an experience outside our country," said Gabri. The leagues outside are very attractive, mainly the English that has changed a lot, this is shown ny the fact there are very important people playing there."

In the opposite directions, there are rumours that Katan is set to return to his old club Maccabi having failed to break into the West Ham first team.
