West Ham Transfer Rumours

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.

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 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.

25 Jul 2026 15:53:05
Matteo Cancelleri winger Lazio being sounded out, looking at plenty of people about time, we bought someone.

I meant to say in previous post, that some of the younger players, I would agree, are not up to the championship.

I think this will be quickly exposed.

Potts will be ok, this is his level, along with Magassa Kante and Orford.

But we need people who can get us up, and make the jump to premier level with us.

25 Jul 2026 17:33:34
How about Cornet, how would you rate him?
I think you are wrong about a lot of the youth players.
Nobody is suggesting we make wholesale changes and bring in loads of youth players all at once, but bench warmers and the odd start would be good.
The minute one of these players is given a chance and they have an iffy debut, too many people jump on them straight away and say they ain't up to it.

They did it with Kante and he is proving to be a decent player.
If all we are gonna rely on is constantly drafting in transferees, we are in trouble, because you only need to look at our general transferees over the last few years. Last year, with the possible exception of Pablo, was probably our best year. The Steidten and Moyes era were generally disastrous.

25 Jul 2026 18:01:49
Cornet is in his last year of contract, needs to play to display himself in the shop window, as does JWP in the same situation. I said a few of the youth will be alright, but not many. At this time WH have a very small squad, with more leaving, 46 games, hard timetable, Carabao Cup, FA Cup, too many games.

You are entitled, as is everyone, to a point of view.

Just give me your answer to one question.

To get promoted, WH will need to score 75 goals minimum. History proves that. Let's make a wild assumption that Bowen can get 20, Taty gets 20, and that's pushing it. Who is going to score the other 35? That's problem number one. Tell me, who is getting those goals?

25 Jul 2026 18:03:47
Hi Hammer, I think talent-wise Cornet is fine for the Championship, but he cannot be relied on because of the horrendous injury record, and he's the only winger we have apart from Bowen.

One of the things that made relegation bearable was that the youth might get more game time.

Of course, it has to be controlled, and they are not thrown in at the deep end, but they will never progress if they are never given the opportunity.

25 Jul 2026 18:47:40
Hi Robbo. The reason I asked an opinion about Cornet is that I agree with you in that he is a player that should do okay at Championship level, obviously, but his injury record is terrible.
Now, the other night, and I know it was one game, a pre-season friendly against 3rd tier opposition, he played the second half. He didn't play badly, but was completely outshone by much of the youth side. That's why I asked. I also agree with the controlled use of the youth.

Joyful, yes, I take your point, but am assuming we are going to sign 1 or 2 strikers.

I'm not expecting our front men to be just Bowen, Tatty, and Pablo, who I do actually expect to chip in with about 10 goals even if he hasn't looked great so far. We have lost Wilson, and I assume Fulkrug will leave. So I am not basing anything on no transfers coming in. I am pretty sure they will sign players, it just seems to be taking some time.
If they don't sign any in the next 3 weeks, then I would say you are right, we may struggle.

25 Jul 2026 18:49:28
Earthy proved he can have impact at this level. Injuries, unfortunately, have hampered his progress. Hopefully he can get back on track. He always looked tidy on the ball, and clinical in front of goal, scoring and creating.



But, ultimately, I agree that we shouldn't be relying on youngsters; hopefully plenty of opportunities for them, though.

Cornet, you'd think, could do something, but can't be relied upon with his injury record.

25 Jul 2026 10:18:43
Well we have just 3 weeks to go before the serious stuff starts. Rangers tomorrow. Is a step up, and more to judge from that than Stevenage

How many players do we need in? Looks like we are standing firmer now, and not prepared to let anyone else go unless big money is offered

But we are short, up front certainly, then a winger, creative attack mdf Cb.



WH have to get people in, if we don’t, we will get found out quick enough.

First bid was stopped last week for the Stoke player, why? Don’t know is the truth.

Let’s hope we get into action this week

25 Jul 2026 12:20:34
Joyful, from what you know, why are we being so slow and doing what feels like the usual 'looking' and 'considering'? I know Kretinsky wants to do things the right way, and the priority was selling, but surely a club can do two things at once? People are saying to be patient, it's 3 weeks, as you say, not enough time to gel new players.

The squad was paper thin last season, and it's only getting thinner atm. Don't know about others, but I don't think the likes of Earthy, Scarles, even Potts, frankly, have enough quality.

25 Jul 2026 14:17:46
I guess the Stoke player was Sorba Thomas? I thought he looked very good vs Bosnia in the play-off game. He looked physical, went at players, and caused havoc. He had some good crosses too. Good move if we're after him.

We do need a striker, though, and a Fernandes replacement.

25 Jul 2026 15:40:51
Please remember I am not a supposed West Ham Itk, my information is agency derived, last Tuesday or Wednesday. West Ham made an offer for Harry Souttar, CB, Leicester. It was around 5.5 m, Leicester want £10 m, they are not in panic mode, the offer is far too low. West Ham are not going to steal the player, get real. Come in at 7.5 m, then start talking, or maybe West Ham just trying it out?

West Ham were poised to make a bid for Sorba Thomas of Stoke on Wednesday, stopped.



No idea why, unfortunately not in that pay grade!

West Ham need to get serious. If we want promotion, three important players have left: Fernandes, Summerville and Disasi. We have others on the sidelines who are very unlikely to remain, Todibo, Fulkrug and Alvarez.

The need for players is obvious to everyone. If West Ham do not get people in, we will NOT win that league, and I doubt we will make the top three. That's my opinion, for what it's worth, and I will stand by it.

25 Jul 2026 09:27:19
I said a while ago that we need to get the best players in the Championship and one of best performers last season was Femi Azeez at Millwall, whether the two clubs would do business, I’m not sure, but he’s got pace, goals and assists in him, could do a lot worse.

25 Jul 2026 11:34:41
If that were to happen I wouldn't like to be in his shoes when we play at their place.

24 Jul 2026 22:53:25
Just got back from the West Ham U21 vs Colchester game. I know it's a friendly and players were rested, but none of the players tonight are good enough to step up. Earthy, Mayers, Orford and Casey didn't play tonight. All seem to have been promoted to the first team now and won't play U21 again. So maybe Nuno is relying on youth? Most of the team is good, but I was hoping maybe Cummings or Landers would show me more than just being a handful tonight.

Both were pretty average despite a goal from Landers.

Overall, I think the club need a few signings because we don't have the depth in the squad but I am still very excited for what's coming this season!

25 Jul 2026 07:32:20
I've not seen him, but heard that Cummings isn't all that good, which is a shame, as I think he was thought of as a future star.

25 Jul 2026 09:29:15
Unfortunately true, we do not have an array of good young players. This is why we need people in. In fact, this has been obvious for some time.

25 Jul 2026 09:54:15
I heard the same about Cummings. He is a strong lad who put himself about, but there just isn't anything special that I saw. The Championship would be a step too far, I think, for him.
What I don't seem to understand is why we don't try and get the biggest prospects from the Championship and progress with that.

Bowen, for example. We are one of the biggest clubs in that league, surely players will want to come to us, knowing we should be going to the Premier again? So take other teams' best players. Why don't we use our status to our benefit for once! Play like the top 6 do!

25 Jul 2026 11:43:50
What worries me is that people here think it's almost a done deal that we'll get promoted. I don't think it's going to be a cake walk. Yes, we're a big club, but escape from the Championship is famously difficult. I think we'll do it, but it's no certainty. Every game will be a cup final.

24 Jul 2026 21:51:29
Looks like Diouf is on his way out, that’s fine, but we need players in.

25 Jul 2026 15:14:24
I did hear we won't sell any more players unless a bid comes in that's too good to refuse.

We've been linked constantly with certain players but no action on the horizon.

Gustavo Hamer, Sa, Hatate, Harrison Burrows, Vipotnik to name but a few.



I know they are trying to forward plan for players that can hold their own in the Premier League, but let's get out of this one first.

24 Jul 2026 21:48:28
Diouf bid from Brentford way too low, £16 m plus addons, WH want more. They will get more

Tavernier Rangers — he’s 34, auxiliary fullback? Cmon, he’s just too old, maybe a year as a free agent?

24 Jul 2026 13:30:28
Gustavo Sa, looks like he is reintegrating with his team. A fixed fee apparently was never agreed with WH

The Portuguese won’t accept less than 25 m euro plus addons. The original talks were close, but at that time never came to an agreement

There’s time for both sides to change their minds.

Familcao were under the the impression that Benfica, Sporting or Porto would come in, they haven't, and whilst time has elapsed, WH may have moved on, like many things we shall see?
