In our exciting new feature on whufc.com, the Boleyn Insider blog will bring you exclusive insight into the behind-the-scenes goings on at the Boleyn Ground.



The Boleyn Insider will try to offer a digest on the latest gossip from around the Club and the major transfer speculation surrounding the first-team. In today's blog, he clears up the speculation surrounding a possible move for Dimitri Payet and reports linking Stewart Downing with a move to Sunderland.







With the draw being made for the Europa League this week, I understand the Club are working very hard behind the scenes as they look to bring in several more players who can strengthen the squad during a busy period.



A lot of speculation continues to surround the possible arrival of highly rated winger Dimitri Payet from Marseille and that the Club have made a big money move to sign him.



I can exclusively reveal that the Club hope to resolve a move for the France international one way or the other this week.



The other big story surrounding West Ham in the last 24 hours has been reports linking Sunderland with a move for Stewart Downing.



Downing was one of the key players last season and earned a recall to the England squad.



But my sources have told me that none of the squad are for sale and I believe the Club are only focused on bringing in new players for Slaven Bilic and not letting anyone go in the foreseeable future.
