West Ham Transfer Rumours

07 Jul 2026 10:12:38
May remember few weeks back when I suggested that Xabi Alonso taking over at Chelsea, could possibly evolve things for WH

Well WH have the right attitude. They want the best money they can get on exits irregardless of destination.

Of course their may be exceptions if it suits.

There’s no question WH want Disasi back, if at all possible? and Summerville to Blueco, may work, obviously it has to suit Summerville. And then the maths both ways have to work as well, WH can only push a player in a direction so far, and he’s on holiday at present, we will see if anything develops.

Edson Alvarez! Koln have just made an offer to WH for £15 m euro
Likely WH will order him back, than take that kind of money.
He’s worth more than that both as a player, and as a sale, if he doesn’t want to return.



He could be more than useful, to WH, they should convince him to stay, rather than let him go on the cheap.

07 Jul 2026 10:57:42
Hopefully we can keep Handy, as along with Magsssa can play DM or CB. Need a bit of flexibility in the squad, also adds some leadership.

07 Jul 2026 11:27:39
Get rid. Another bad apple.

07 Jul 2026 11:49:24
Different views on here, Alvarez talks with Nuno next week, coming or going, we shall see?

07 Jul 2026 13:14:38
I would like to see him stay, but think he will leave. His only issue was he didn't get on with Potter, well he's hardly alone there. The only thing I would say is it would leave us with Edson, Magassa, Kante and Potts, all similar players, surely 1 or 2 would have to go or go out on loan.

07 Jul 2026 14:14:52
That may well be the deciding factor. West Ham may decide to let him go.

06 Jul 2026 18:04:07
Now Fulham make official approach enquiry Bissaka, the more the merrier, price must rise.

06 Jul 2026 21:08:46
To be fair, AWB has been one of our best players, if not our best, over the last 2 seasons.

06 Jul 2026 22:39:17
He was good at the WC... I'd say 25M at least.

07 Jul 2026 07:44:14
Thought he didn't look that interested towards the end, and in a relegation battle as well. He was slowly jogging out to close players down. Annoyed me, he put in his worst performances when we needed him.

07 Jul 2026 08:11:45
I tend to agree with Al. He was absolutely brilliant his first season, but last season, when he was at AFCON, we definitely missed him. But when he returned, he had a few really good games, but for some reason lost interest when we really needed it.

In the end, KWP seemed a better bet than AWB. He should get a decent sum because his talent is there for sure; it's just a case of if he can be bothered to show it.

07 Jul 2026 13:57:46
Kwp is a more intelligent footballer, in and out of possession. Awb is always caught napping at the back post, goes on mazy runs with not much thought behind them, and his pace gets him out of trouble a lot.

06 Jul 2026 17:37:24
Brentford. Make official approach for Wan Bissaka, WH need to rethink his price. We now have Fenerbache. Sunderland, Arsenal, Everton, Brentford, Newcastle, and two unnamed sides after the player, so £10 m forget it. Got to be double.

06 Jul 2026 16:35:29
Another winger possibility Simon Adingra Sunderland being considered.

06 Jul 2026 12:50:52
Joyful, you might be able to shed some light on this, is there any truth in the James McAtee rumour? 🤷

06 Jul 2026 15:04:14
Yes, see post below, whatever. Is it going to be subject to Glasner's ideas?

06 Jul 2026 17:17:17
Very average player, 25 million is too much.

06 Jul 2026 17:28:48
This, for me, is an odd choice. WH have enquired about him in the past; he has quality, but he needs a role on a regular basis. Nuno may have something in mind, but it's doubtful he will come to WH anyway. The price and Forest's reluctance may bring matters to a quick ending.

06 Jul 2026 11:53:51
My view only, WH should get in touch with Al Qudsiah in Saudi, and ask how much Julian Quinones is, Mexican forward, although 29, he has great touch, speed, and certainly knows where the goal is.

He’s the CF we are looking for. He would like to play in UK.

Pick up the phone!

06 Jul 2026 14:39:55
Hi Joyful, Is that the black guy that scored against England yesterday? If so, I think he will have plenty of suitors in the prem. But you never know.

06 Jul 2026 14:56:59
Yes, he's had a very good tournament, no flash in the pan, only my opinion. Worth an enquiry, as per post.

06 Jul 2026 18:06:02
Cheers.

06 Jul 2026 18:07:21
Cheers mate.

06 Jul 2026 11:41:22
Ruben Vargas, whilst no one can doubt, this is a good shout, Brighton are the main runners here

He’s affordable, both fees and wages, it’s just a case of wether WH can steer him away from premiership clubs, and sell him a good project

I think it depends how strong are the intentions of other clubs

But WH are looking for more quality, this is good news.

06 Jul 2026 11:31:01
Macatee, WH have spoken to Forest, who naturally want their transfer money back (25 m). WH are very unlikely to pay that money, they have asked for a loan with option. Forest may consider a loan but with obligation and full wages paid.

He’s on 40 ka week, no problem. The players had little game time at Forest so might want to come, however under new manager Glasner, he wants to watch all existing players before any decisions are made.

05 Jul 2026 21:05:00
What about John Stones, he’s without a club by all accounts, could be a shout 🤷‍♂️
What do you guys think?

06 Jul 2026 08:43:40
I think it might be worth a one-season contract. I know he is now injured a hell of a lot, but he is a quality player, and you never know, he might be able to teach Killman how to defend.

06 Jul 2026 09:08:06
Can you honestly see him leaving a European powerhouse after playing in a World Cup to come to the Championship on about 30k a week?

06 Jul 2026 10:06:02
His contract is up, and City won't renew. He must see his career is coming to an end. We did get Zabaleta at a similar time in his career, although Zabaleta did not have as bad, or any, injury issues.

06 Jul 2026 10:38:29
Also, we were a Premier League club. If he stays in England, a Premier League team will take a punt on him for sure.

05 Jul 2026 10:06:00
WH and Cardiff, it’s hard to work out, what the talks are about, but these names are popping up: Kpaiko Rb. I think he’s seen as a squad back up.

Ruben Colewill, Dylan Lawlor, and the previously mentioned Yousef Salech, who’s a forward.



It’s clear that, Summerville apart, WH are expecting Diouf and Bissaka to definitely leave, and are making plans for that even.

The surprise for me at the moment is that, despite all the original talking by agents, only one player has left so far.

05 Jul 2026 17:06:38
Harrison Burrows is high on the agenda, I believe.

05 Jul 2026 09:22:32
A bid has already gone in for Harrison Burrows Lb Sheffield Utd,

Wh are in talks with Cardiff, thought to be Salech. Could it be someone else?

Gustavo Sa had gone under the radar, complete surprise.

04 Jul 2026 22:17:42
Irankunda. Now Australia have been knocked out of the cup, WH will have to decide whether they are going for the Watford winger or not

It is understood that Watford have knocked back two bids from elsewhere, one 8 m and the other close to 10 m

So WH going to need to top that, if they want the player.

04 Jul 2026 16:07:02
Misleading information. Summerville, the clause in his contract is a minimum not a maximum, it’s pounds not euros, it doesn’t include addons, staggered payments, or anything like that so WH can encourage a bidding war.

WH can insist on £40 m straight payment and any amount of negotiable addons, which they are, if the bidding doesn’t reach £50 m on its own.



Many clubs can’t make straight payments, and easily achievable addons.

So this will boil down to well heeled clubs only. There are many clubs interested, but the majority won’t feel like going along on this particular ride.

04 Jul 2026 12:04:57
We need to sort this DoF position out quickly as there seems to be a reluctance to move forward to bring players in until it's done.

04 Jul 2026 16:53:57
I thought it was sorted. Koppen is joining as recruitment director, and that's it?

04 Jul 2026 17:01:59
No announcement = no progress in offering for talent elsewhere.

04 Jul 2026 17:40:24
Announced on club website about 3 hours ago.
