Slaven Bilic turned down the chance to sign Sanches and Krychowiak

West Ham have made a poor start to the Premier League season and Slaven Bilic is under a lot of pressure to turn it around.

The Hammers had an impressive window this summer and the fans would have expected a better start.

West Ham have been struggling in the midfield and defence so far. They tried to sign William Carvalho from Sporting in order to add to the midfield and improve the defence as well. However, the deal never quite materialised.

David Sullivan, the West Ham chairman has now made matters worse by revealing that there were alternatives and the side’s midfield and defence could have been improved.
