West Ham Transfer Rumours

28 Jul 2026 13:20:33
WH are trying to get a figure from Coventry for Haji Wright, to be honest, didn’t think we would even attempt this, they could agree a figure then the player might not come, but he’s what we need, top scorer there in the Championship.

Bit more like it.

If we can get Sorba Thomas from Stoke, we will have the firepower and assists needed.

Coventry don’t want him walking on a free at season's end, which is in our favour. It’s doubtful but maybe keep your legs crossed

28 Jul 2026 14:18:33
Gustavo Sa to Forest?

28 Jul 2026 17:13:59
I'm not sure I understand this. We tried to buy Hadji Wright last season, and Fat Frank put a ridiculous figure like 200 million on him. They got promoted, we got relegated, and we now think he might want to come and join the relegation gravy train. Okay, we are a bigger club, but I don't see what is in it for him.

28 Jul 2026 20:10:16
Hadji Wright wants a new contract, more money. He's earning 25 k a week at Coventry, plus a few bits. West Ham, to get him in, could offer 50 k plus bonuses.

He's 28, so could offer 3/4 years plus option. If we return to Premier, and he did well, that would increase by 50%.

He's Championship proven, that's the draw card, it's a long shot.

28 Jul 2026 12:43:25
Alvarez Real Sociedad come in with an unusual offer: 8 m euro upfront, 7 m euro to be paid over three years, no big addons as such but one or two small addons, which could add another million euros.

WH may be tempted by this, getting shot of his wages same time.



Almost coincidentally, Ajax have made a buy offer, which comes to slightly less. The Dutch side have restricted access to funds, and are underfunded full stop.

The Spanish offer is better at present

28 Jul 2026 10:43:56
Disasi, let’s be clear about this. A month ago WH agreed a fee with Chelsea £20 m plus 5 m addons if the player wished to return to WH.

WH would pay Disasi 80 k a week, at Chelsea he’s on 77.5 k loan, so no loss.

Contract terms with player to be determined. So far the player has not given the ok to come back in the Championship; he said he would come back in the Premiership.

It was left there.

WH have heard nothing since.



What I don’t understand at all is WH have been offered Tomori from Milan for £15 m, class Cb, same wages. He’s 28. If Disasi, doesn’t want to come, try Tomori. He only say no.

28 Jul 2026 09:47:59
Fulkrug Lazio, now change offer, to player 3 years contract wages deal 30 k a week, if he comes on a free.

WH ask for 3 m euro, and he can go, all getting a bit silly, but maybe we are getting towards the end of Fulkrug, at last.

27 Jul 2026 22:04:54
Last Saturday I posted about Matteo Cancelleri of Lazio winger in last year of contract.

WH in talks with his agent, not exactly the top target but we seem to be aiming low.

There maybe a tie up with Fulkrug deal? We shall see?

Thing here is he plays both sides, but predominantly right side, we need left side.

28 Jul 2026 06:15:25
It's getting to the point, anything will do.

It doesn't fill me with confidence that only now the former head of scouting at Southampton, Ben Chorley, has been added to the Hammers' resources, apparently to beef up knowledge of the English Leagues, which kind of begs the question as to why they didn't recruit an 'expert' in the first place?

28 Jul 2026 06:16:31
Swap Fulkrug for Cancelleri. If Bowen then gets injured, we have a ready replacement.

28 Jul 2026 10:08:24
Yep, that isn't a good sign if you employ a recruitment tzar only to have to bring in another one after 4 weeks of inaction.

27 Jul 2026 21:45:52
Fulkrug again, now Lazio come on the scene, with a marginally better offer than Genoa.

They will pay Fulkrug 35 k a week, WH 20 k a week.
Loan with option 5 m.

If WH are desperate then they will accept one of these deals, frankly they are ludicrous and insulting.


If Fulkrug can’t be persuaded to play.

I would let Fulkrug go on a free save 2 years wages, it’s a better deal! Potential saving WH 5.75 m to 8 m, be firm not financing him to play elsewhere, madness.

27 Jul 2026 21:35:23
Fulkrug peanuts, Genoa make an offer, they are underfunded. They will pay the German 30 k a week, WH pay the other 25 k
Further, they want an option to buy him for 3 m euros
Anything else?

27 Jul 2026 18:35:52
Magassa's cousin is trying to engineer a move from WH, Eintracht are interested, as are Fenerbache and Galatasaray, none of these have come up with a fee that WH may have interest in.

All are on the loan trail with option, WH not interested.

27 Jul 2026 19:49:46
These players wind me up. Just because we've been relegated, they want out, it's unbelievable, no loyalty to a club that sees potential in them. They're the ones on the pitch that have got us relegated and they want out.

Well, f*** off and leave us to it. Bowen is a legend for hanging about; the others will never be spoken of again in West Ham history, money grabbing b*******!

27 Jul 2026 20:10:09
Loyalty is a thing of the past, Stevie. None of these players support West Ham. The agents control everything now and will "advise" the players on what to do. I would not be surprised to see more than one player refusing to play because we can't shift them.

27 Jul 2026 16:47:35
Alvarez, Wh have not recieved any purchase offers for this player and want to sell at the players request.

Fulkrug you all know the current situation.

These two are far better than some of the players we are being associated with.

What to do? What I would do, is to convince them to stay for a season, they are both on more money than they would get elsewhere anyway.

Fulkrug can, leave as a free agent next season if we get promoted, or stay back on premier wages for his final season.



Alvarez will be bought after playing a seasons football no question, if not, he can be back on his premier wages for final season.

These two would make a difference. Wh should sort this out.

Todibo, different circumstances. Juventus want option. Wh want obligation fee 22.5 m, Wh do not want him back. Correct decision.

27 Jul 2026 15:52:57
I had an interesting talk with members of the agency that I recieve some chat from.
They tell me that several championship teams, are in their opinion ready to start this coming weekend, and in any case, WH are certainly not in a position to to dominate the league, as betting odds suggest.



They are also suprised, by the lack of players coming in, and don’t understand what WH are doing.

I responded by saying neither do I, or the majority of WH supporters.

27 Jul 2026 16:01:01
They need to get moving. After that showing against Rangers, we are nowhere near ready!

27 Jul 2026 16:32:22
West Ham have made a profit of 60 m on two players, fantastic, parachute money is in £45 m. All monies in cash, yes West Ham remain in debt like the other 91 members of the Football League, but in reality the near debt now is 45 m and overall debt about 90 m.

A return to the Premier League would eradicate that, plus all expenses in a season, but unless something is done in the market we aren't going back next season.

Looking at players like the forward from Metz is madness, 4 goals in 25 matches! West Ham need Championship-proven quality, penny pinching will see us remain in this league, you only get what you pay for, excepting Pablo, I am shocked to be honest at some of the crap we are being associated with.



West Ham need to have a meeting, and decide which way they want to go. Carry on with a very mediocre squad and stay in the Championship, or pull their finger out, get in decent players and get promoted. There are two paths, we are going nowhere at present.

27 Jul 2026 18:40:24
I'm of the same opinion as the majority, and I believe we will bring players in before the window ends.

As Joyful has put it, however, I think there are clubs a lot further along in preparation than we are, so maybe, just maybe, the thought is to get us back on an even keel this season, hold our own, get us healthy financially, and go at it hard next season.



We obviously have a plan (maybe to bring the young lads through and see who is cut out for the challenge), but one thing is for sure, we are nowhere near ready for this season as it stands.

Still, plenty of time before the window closes, but only 3 weeks until kick off!!

27 Jul 2026 19:16:16
If WH don't get promoted this season, a completely different spectrum arises, it would be a long post, so won't go into it now, let's just say, it's not planned for at present.

28 Jul 2026 06:18:39
At this rate Joyful, it doesn't appear we have any plans in place.

27 Jul 2026 14:33:53
So it's official, Taty has told the club he wants out!

27 Jul 2026 15:14:59
Just our luck. We get stuck with the donkey Pablo and the decent one of the two wants out.

27 Jul 2026 15:18:13
To be honest, I thought he did that at the season's end. I doubt he will be the only one either; so far, only Bowen has openly committed to ud for next season.

27 Jul 2026 15:35:15
This is old. News by three weeks. Posted about this earlier.

27 Jul 2026 15:46:59
I think we all knew, but now it seems it's official. Just when I was hoping we could keep him.

Please, if there is a god, I hope we arnt relying on Pablo lmao. 🤣 😂 😆

27 Jul 2026 16:20:07
Re Pablo. As posted before, I played in the Conference League for years, and managed that club for two seasons. I can only tell you what I see. This player would not make that team, or its second team either.

This is not a case of rudeness; it is fact. What on earth is this player (no, he is not a player) doing at West Ham? Does anybody know, football reasons only, please.

27 Jul 2026 18:44:02
Beyond me, Joyful. That kid from Orient at £8m would be a lot better shout, or the geeza from Coventry. Sell Pablo and use the 50p towards half time pie.

27 Jul 2026 21:17:52
There were a couple of stories that there was interest in Pablo that quickly evaporated.
What on earth would Haji Wright come to WH for? His intention at present is to leave Coventry as a free agent at season's end. To buy him now would cost £15 m /20 m. Not that that's bad, it's good, but WH are barrel scraping, those kind of figures are not in the brief.



They simply have not gripped reality, that strikers are expensive but can get you out of this league. So far, I've been surprised by WH lack of ambition, so have many others.

27 Jul 2026 09:13:06
WH trying to convince Nick Woltemade the Newcastle giant cf to come to East London, loan with option.

27 Jul 2026 10:50:07
Oh no, he is poor.

27 Jul 2026 11:07:00
Just found out dry loan only, no option. There are several foreign clubs interested, the old story, whether the Championship is ok or not.

27 Jul 2026 12:33:19
Can be a handful, and holds the ball up well. More game time for him would help him become a good fit for us.

27 Jul 2026 15:19:32
Voldemort is not good enough. I'd rather have Mad Eye Moody!

27 Jul 2026 18:44:36
We don't want him. We need pace up front. When will we learn?

27 Jul 2026 20:49:41
He's better than we have got and probably too good for the Championship. Started well at Newcastle, but seemed to get played out of position a fair amount.

26 Jul 2026 18:55:34
Well I've spoken about Pablo before, many argued, are you now satisfied, sounds like Maximus!

He’s useless, and irrelevant as this game was, Rangers for me are like a standard Championship team, that we will meet on most occasions, not top six, many teams are better than them.



I do not want to go on like a broken record, but if you can’t see where we are short now, you never will unless players come in. WH will not win that league and we won’t get promoted, I’ve seen nothing to change my mind.

26 Jul 2026 19:47:21
I agree.
Today's game, he was very poor, slow to react, and will not score many goals with this sluggish approach around the box.

I don't see how we agreed to this deal in the window.

26 Jul 2026 19:58:18
He was indeed poor, but there were pluses (not from him, agreed). Your argument could be more balanced, joyful rather than I told you so. I don't think anybody disagrees that we need more signings, that's obvious. The thought process behind many is to not just panic buy.

I agree that Rangers are the equivalent of a decent Championship side, and for a lot of the game we made them look inferior. I agree we looked weak in the final 3rd and that surely will be addressed.

26 Jul 2026 20:12:51
Dabber, you are the optimist. I'm a realist. Let's see what they do. West Ham cannot be serious if they think they have the squad for promotion at present. That's where I am.

26 Jul 2026 20:19:33
First touch is poor, then he takes about 4 more touches; either falls over or gives it away most of the time, always wants far too long to get his shot away, and he's often not positioned where he needs to be. He works hard, but we need more than that in the Championship. He served a purpose in the Prem when we were sat behind the ball, and we needed someone to run about, occasionally get a tackle in, but really we should be the ones dominating games, saying that, with this current team thing, the games are going to be a lot more even.



We need replacements for Fernandes and Summerville, who we've known are going for some time. Disasi and Wilson also need replaced.

Hoping we jump into action soon. Squad is lacking a lot.

26 Jul 2026 20:30:44
Agreed.

26 Jul 2026 21:38:15
The persistence with a 4-4-2 concerns me as well. I don't think it suits our players, especially when he has the wide men tucking in, which doesn't suit Bowen at all. I currently can't see a midfield pairing that's good enough to do it either.

We've done well getting the amount of money in that we have for those 2, and we need to be close on 2-3 signings by the end of this week.



I don't think we can afford a poor start. We may have the likes of Bowen, Taty, Mavro for one season in the Championship; let's not waste it by not getting a move on and building a team/squad capable of getting promoted.

26 Jul 2026 22:51:41
Divin Mubama. This guy can score, and I think he would be a great option for the Championship if we could loan him for a season.

27 Jul 2026 06:36:26
I don't think he (dm) is the answer. He didn't do too much when at West Ham before. Nothing at City, and 5 goals in 26 at Stoke.
I'm not sure who the answer is. I've seen us linked with some decent players on the continent. But we also need to sort out the supply lines.

27 Jul 2026 15:41:47
Pablo has been with us for over 6 months. Give him a chance? Come on, how long does he need? He's way out of his depth. It's as plain as the nose on your face.

26 Jul 2026 08:56:38
I'm hearing Taty has instructed his agents he doesn't want to play in the Championship so to find him a new club? You heard anything similar joyful?

26 Jul 2026 12:00:56.
This has been the case for the last three weeks. No club has come forward as yet with a substantial bid; same applies to Bissaka. Lots of talk, but nothing has come about.

Arsenal do not want to pay more than £15 m plus 3 m additions for Bissaka, and they are presently the highest bidders.

Two unnamed Italian clubs and one Spanish club have enquired regarding Taty. One is believed to be Juventus, who wanted to pay 20 m euro, which was refused. Another may be Villarreal, who wanted a loan, with an option, not an obligation.

Why would West Ham entertain this? They won’t. Players have signed a contract. If a club comes in with a proper offer for either of these two, then it must be considered. Until then, forget it.

Problem for West Ham is, the closer it gets to kickoff, the more reluctant they will be to sell. But will a big bid for either player force their hand?

26 Jul 2026 17:08:40
Worries me that kickoff will come, and clubs will come in with offers we cant refuse, leaving us scrambling around for the scraps that are left.

On another note, Wrexham having decent pre season so far, beating a half strength Man Utd team 1-0 and Leeds 3-2. Should be interesting when they come calling.

26 Jul 2026 18:39:50
Wrexham look very good from what ive seen, much quicker and fitter than us anyway.

26 Jul 2026 19:11:25
Wrexham join the list of clubs who are better than West Ham at this time. That's my opinion.

25 Jul 2026 18:49:02
Fikayo Tomori, links are there, £15 m wanted, in his last year contract. Just 28, would like to return to UK, WH could afford his wages. Would be absolutely perfect for us, in every respect.

Problem though is will he play in the Championship?

25 Jul 2026 19:54:58
Would be a real statement signing. He is on about £75k at Milan, so will we pay similar?

25 Jul 2026 21:47:14
Yes, it would. Disasi was going to be paid 78 k a week if he came, so could be done. But, as I said, it's unlikely because of the Championship. He's the right fit. It would show huge ambition, but I just can't see it. Hope I'm wrong.
