West Ham are keen on Manchester United pair Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay, while Gianluca Scamacca has left the club to join Atalanta.
Italy striker Scamacca, 24, moves to Serie A on a permanent transfer for an undisclosed fee.
West Ham are yet to make a signing this summer despite selling Declan Rice to Arsenal in a deal that could end up being worth £105m.
They are in advanced talks with Ajax over Mexico midfielder Edson Alvarez.
But after Saturday’s 4-0 defeat by Bayer Leverkusen, there is greater momentum behind their recruitment drive.
Whether West Ham can reach either the fee or salary to conclude a deal is open to question.
It is understood United would be open to a deal but both England defender Maguire, 30, and Scotland midfielder McTominay, 26, are part of Erik ten Hag’s squad and the club know they would need replacements for either if they were sold.
Scamacca spent one season with the Hammers having joined on a five-year contract from Sassuolo for £30.5m last July.
He made 27 appearances and scored eight goals, including five in their winning Europa Conference League campaign.
