West Ham's attempts to sign Thilo Kehrer from Paris St-Germain are "progressing", says David Moyes.
An attempt to strengthen elsewhere by bringing in Sporting Lisbon's Portugal midfielder Matheus Nunes has failed.
"We bid for him, but the boy chose not to come," said Moyes before his side's game at promoted Nottingham Forest on Sunday [14:00 BST].
Moyes played down reports linking Barcelona's former Manchester United forward Memphis Depay with a switch to West Ham.
The Hammers, who host Danish side Viborg FF in the play-off round first leg in the Europa Conference League next Thursday, have made several signings during the summer transfer window.
