#4 Mbwana Samatta and De Gea
West Ham might just have 7 points from 8 games but they have shown glimpses of what they could be at their best under Manuel Pellegrini. There were talks of the Hammers sacking The Engineer but he might have bought himself some time after defeating Manchester United.
They need reinforcements in the winter, which is why the Mirror (via HITC) report that West Ham – along with Everton and Burnley – are after the signature of Mbwana Samatta.
Meanwhile, David De Gea might not be keen on tying himself with Manchester United in the long term. According to The Telegraph, talks over a long-term contract have reached somewhat of a dead-end as the Spain goalkeeper wants to be in a team that competes for titles.
