West Ham United have kept Avram Grant up-to-speed on their summer signing plans.

The Mirror says incoming manager Grant has been kept informed of moves behind the scenes to re-build the club's squad after their brush with relegation.

Hammers transfers chief David Sullivan has lined up 20-30 possible transfer targets including Christian Benitez, Burnley's Steven Fletcher, Everton's Yakubu, Pompey's Kevin-Prince Boateng, Aston Villa's Nicky Shorey and French international Sidney Govou.

Grant will now decide who to bring in once he is formally appointed.
