West Ham United have endured a torrid summer.
After narrowly avoiding relegation last term the hope was that the Hammers would kick on in the transfer market.
Unfortunately that hasn't happened.
For a long while the signing of Tomas Soucek was the only signing made in east London, before a deal to bring in Vladimir Coufal was completed.
But with a number of high profile outgoings - including the controversial sale of Grady Diangana to West Brom - some supporters have been left worried.
But that doesn't mean that the season is a lost cause.
Two wins from four games has seen the Irons move into midtable going into the first international break of the campaign - something which may have convinced some high profile targets to move to the London Stadium.
Several names have been linked with a late move to east London, one of whom is Fikayo Tomori.
According to Football London, the Chelsea defender could be a late signing for David Moyes' side.
The Blues are keen to offload a defender with Frank Lampard looking to use just four centre-backs for the duration of the season.
It seemed that Antonio Rudiger was going to be the one to make way, but with the German international failing to secure a move it could pave the way for Tomori to move on.
With the 22-year-old keen to play regular first team football, it could be a move that benefits all parties.
GIVEMESPORT'S Phil Spencer says...
This would be a great deal for West Ham United.
Described by Frank Lampard as 'outstanding', Fikayo Tomori has an incredibly bright future in the game.
Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to be with Chelsea right now.
With such a wealth of competition for places at Stamford Bridge, it seems that Tomori could find himself frustrated this term.
By moving to east London it will afford him the opportunity to play regular first team football in the Premier League.
That will certainly serve him well for the future.
I'm sure that Lampard sees him as a long-term prospect for the Blues, but with another season of experience under his belt I'm sure he'll be in a position to come back and fight for his place next summer.
If not, there's no doubt that he'll secure a move to another top flight club.
Who knows, if West Ham do well this season then they might even be able to convince him to the London Stadium on a permanent basis.
