Mail Sport can report that West Ham are securing at least one signing on deadline day – Andy Irving of SK Austria Klagenfurt.

You may ask: who? Well, he’s a 23-year-old Scottish midfielder, and he is set to be loaned straight back to the Austrian side.

Sources say this could be the start of an affiliate partnership between the two clubs.

West Ham will be able to send players on loan to Klagenfurt, who can provide them with first-team opportunities.

The deal is yet to be announced and Mail Sport understands it is unlikely to be until next week.

Other clubs have similar affiliations to the partnership West Ham could begin with Klagenfurt.

Brighton sent Kaoru Mitoma on loan to Union SG (also owned by Tony Bloom) before he became the Premier League’s latest star, for example.

Union SG currently employ Alexis Mac Allister’s brother, Kevin, who is set to face his sibling in the Europa League as Liverpool were drawn against the Belgian side in the group stages.

It is believed that the move for Irving will see the beginning of the affiliate between the Irons and SK Austria Klagenfurt.

The former Hearts midfielder will remain on loan in Austria for the rest of the season, with the Irons having already brought in Edson Alvarez and James Ward-Prowse after losing Declan Rice this summer.

It is not the most exciting of deadline day’s for the Hammers, who got their businesss wrapped up early.

David Moyes’ side have started the season well and will be seeking glory in the Europa League this season, having been drawn against Olympiacos, Freiburg and Backa Topola.

Irving will likely join his new teammates at the end of the season from the Austrian side, with the opportunity for the Irons to send players of their own to Klagenfurt in the search of first team football.

West Ham will not be signing AC Milan forward Divock Origi during this transfer window, according to Sean Whetstone.

The 6foot2editor tweeted on 1 September that the Belgian international is expected to fly into the UK on Friday, but that the Hammers have no interest in landing a deal for him.

The 28-year-old has been heavily linked with the Irons this summer, but Sky Sports reported on 1 September that he is in talks over a move to Burnley and Nottingham Forest.

No surprise

It doesn’t come as much of a surprise to learn that West Ham are no longer interested in landing a deal to sign Origi with the transfer deadline rapidly approaching.

There had been talk of the Irons looking to bring him in on loan at the start of August, but his wages in Milan were believed to be an issue.

The club have been linked with a host of forwards this summer since they allowed Gianluca Scamacca to make the move to Atalanta.

 

Although the Belgian would have probably suited David Moyes’ style of play, the Hammers boss has apparently been quite adamant that he didn’t want to bring in a striker just to fill a place in his squad.

The more time goes on and the deadline gets closer, it appears as though there won’t be too much action going on at the club as they seem to be quite content with the business we have already concluded during this window.
