Gylfi Sigurdsson

The Icelander has been a consistent performer since moving back to England in 2012. Having started out at Reading as a youngster, he has spent quality time at Hoffenheim, Spurs and Swansea. Still 27, he could be the perfect replacement for Payet. Having similar qualities, Sigurdsson will be more of a goal threat as he has proven to be an able goal scorer during his time in England. As Swansea struggle, Gylfi has sizzled with 5 goals and 6 assists to his name.

Exceptional dead ball abilities also add to a very promising CV. It could be the right age for him to move to a bigger club than Swansea and that would also represent a chance to get away from their relegation battle. Furthermore, Swansea could he helped by the funds they receive for Gylfi as they would look to re-invest that in key areas of their squad that needs improvement.

Matt Phillips

Another Premier League based option for Bilic to consider, Phillips of West Brom has been in fine form this season. He has been doing well at the Hawthorns ever since moving there from QPR. He has 4 goals and 8 assists to his name, that is certainly an impressive tally and the Scotsman could be what The Hammers just about need.

Phillips could also provide width and prove competition to the likes of Antonio, Ayew and Tore. This makes him an exciting prospect and at 25, it could be the right move for him to make. It is his form that has seen West Brom rise from mid-table obscurity to a Europa League place. But will the 5 point gap between West Brom and West Ham make Phillips reject the opportunity to make the move to London?
