West Ham Transfer Rumours

28 May 2026 17:15:23
Summerville, Roma have now come forward, and want to make a deal with WH at 40 m euros.

This is a fair offer, but the player wants to see if he’s playing for his national side in the forthcoming World Cup before making a decision?

Of course, if he does and plays well, it may enhance his price, it looks out of WH hands temporarily.



I think one way or another, unfortunately Summerville will be gone ……..joyfull.

28 May 2026 19:54:05
Summerville is in his World Cup squad.

28 May 2026 10:10:16
I am now hearing lots of names being associated with WH. Too many to post about.

So I’m just picking out one or two. Harold Makoudi, AEK CB, is being recommended to WH. The thing about this one is it’s being related to Mavrapanos, our Greek CB, who knows him well, although Makoudi plays for Cameroon

He has been watched, wether he will want to play in the championship is another matter.

That’s going to be a major problem, as WH go through a very long list of possibilities. Joyfull

28 May 2026 17:46:33
Yeah im hearing noises around Louza from Watford and Hamer from Sheff Utd along with Vipotnik.

Must be honest, we need director of football ASAP to give us some direction and then compile player list.

28 May 2026 09:35:20
Mbodji! The full back of Slavia Prague is being, lined up to replace Diouf, in the likelyhood, that he will be off soon, he’s only one option, but the leading one at present '……… Joyfull.

28 May 2026 09:28:50
Scuppered! Looks like WH attempt to get Ibrahim Mbaye, the young winger on loan from PSG, for a season only, with no option, has been stopped.

Owing to interference from Aston Villa, who have offered £40 m for his services, not that PSG will sell him. But whereas they wanted the youngster to play guaranteed football, which WH offered, they are now taking second thoughts? Not known why Villa would not offer that.



Meanwhile, Max Aerons, formerly of Norwich, sold to Bournemouth, and loaned to Rangers, wants to come to WH on loan, from Bournemouth?

27 May 2026 15:20:42
Sullivan! Apparently he was able to get an order to prevent a showing of this BBC programme. This has now been deleted.

If what I am hearing is correct, this is not about financial dealings, but contains accusations of serious sexual situations.

He may well be in trouble here, and this could lead to serious repercussions as to his position at WH and elsewhere.

27 May 2026 16:44:22
If the allegations are true, it has to be the end of him running West Ham. I believe the program is scheduled for this Friday night. If the despicable allegations (that I've heard) are true, then he is an even worse individual than most of us thought, and that would be difficult.
People with his sort of money, power and influence don't usually get brought to book whilst alive, and things get covered up until they are dead, and then it all comes out, quite conveniently.

Let's hope they look at people that have turned a blind eye to his behaviour over the years also.
This is far bigger than him running a football club poorly, and if true I can't see how he can survive.

27 May 2026 17:39:51
I did post about this a few days ago, but it wasn't put on here. 🤷

27 May 2026 18:03:45
I think naming restrictions were lifted. Maybe you posted before that happened.

27 May 2026 19:15:44
I have heard a well known glamour model is part of his downfall... L.D.M.

27 May 2026 19:18:08
Apparently there was a gagging order on this, and I have no doubt that this tactic might be tried again.

Let's see what occurs.

27 May 2026 22:11:13
I think he's in a world of trouble. There's an old article by a reporter called Tina Dalgleish that's worth a DuckDuckGo search.

28 May 2026 19:35:03
This was all discussed on here just after Christmas. Nothing new. It has been coming a while.

27 May 2026 13:46:35
Panorama BBC1 Friday is about our chairman.

27 May 2026 14:24:36
That'll be an interesting watch. Wonder if there will be potential ramifications from it.

27 May 2026 15:06:49
Apparently there have been allegations against him, over several years, whether this is connected to sexual or other activity is yet to be revealed.

Sullivan has tried unsuccessfully to block this programme. He's not in a mega money league, but he will take the BBC to court for defamation.

If they get it wrong.

Whatever they reveal, they must have it right; otherwise, would they show it at peak time?


Get your handkerchiefs ready, to sob for our poor, misunderstood owner.

27 May 2026 11:30:44
Porto formal enquiry Diouf.

WH have enquired Zapotnik Swansea CF, the Swans may well price him out, in hope that a premier club come in.

Nuno will have meetings with certain players as to what their wishes are to stay or go.



Although wages will officially be halved, I understand that some kind of bonus scheme could be introduced if WH do well in the Championship. This may be used as some kind of bait to keep one or two players.

27 May 2026 09:58:38
So Nuno stays, is it a good move? Joyfull.

27 May 2026 12:46:49
Yeah, reckon so. Average points per game 1.74 in the Premier League, got Wolves up with 99 points.

It will all depend, as always, on whether or not Sullivan interferes.

New Director of Football might solve that, but I doubt it.

At least he has had a season with us, so he knows who to try and keep and who to let go.

27 May 2026 15:53:05
Didn't Mendes funnel quite a few good Portuguese players last time Nuno was in the Championship? I personally hate the agent-led transfer policy we've had, but in this case of dire needs maybe it isn't a bad idea alongside some hard-nut lower-league talents? We need loads of pace & physique now.

27 May 2026 09:00:02
Bissaka! Some other clubs that have now enquired, Newcastle, Sunderland, Spurs, Palace, other two not known …… Joyfull.

27 May 2026 08:48:54
Fulkrug. You cannot just cancel a contract, because you feel like it! Unless a contract, is cancelled, by mutual consent, a compensation payment will have to be paid, yes we want rid, but talk of tearing up contracts is silly

Bissaka Everton have now made formal bid £ 11 m, I understand there are seven clubs interested in him, WH can get a bit more, if they hold their nerve, I will try to list the clubs later

Traore! WH did NOT pay £7m for him, the fee was £1 m plus another £1 m if we stay up, we didn’t, so his contract ends June 30th, and he is a free agent.

27 May 2026 18:18:47
He hasn't been as good recently as last season. In fact, he has been poor, but I think we should still get around 15 -20 for him. On his day, he is superb.

26 May 2026 08:42:27
We had better get this manager business sorted out quickly, before Sullivan gets busy sorting his own player picks out

Always looking for a free agent, our supremo! Spoke to the agent of Solly March, currently at Brighton

He was a very useful player, at wing and full back, but now 31, cmon we need Young players

Oh dear, keep Nuno, or get Parker in, or whomever.



No players from Sullivan please.

26 May 2026 12:19:00
So, in true West Ham fashion, the board is now split over whether or not to retain Nuno.

Must admit that, compared to who is available, id rather keep him. Let him get rid of overpaid rubbish.

25 May 2026 18:16:10
Clearly we will now be shopping in a very different market. I actually don't think many of our players will be in demand.

I think Taty, Mavropanos, Areola, Todibo will be out the door. The others I think it's a flip of a coin. That is inclusive of Wan Bissaka, Bowen, Summerville.

It worries me some are keen to just chuck the youngsters in. Other than Potts, Earthy, who are closer than the rest, and by some distance - the others are way off senior football, particularly in the Championship.

We were linked with Hackney before, that would be a serious statement of intent from the club. Although I accept there may well be bigger clubs now in for him this summer.

25 May 2026 19:12:10
Scarles, Kante, Marshall, Magassa are all good enough for the Championship, and others can play a role too. There's literally no point in having an academy if we block their progress and never use them.

25 May 2026 19:47:18
Totally agree, Robbo. When is the best time to blood them, if not in the Championship? We need to bring them through gradually, as we used to do.

25 May 2026 20:23:44
I would have thought a Prem team would have been in for Hackney, as we should have been previously. If we had started with a midfield of Fernandes, Hackney, Paqueta, we probably would not have gone down. Instead, we started with JWP, Soucek and Irving as our midfield options.

25 May 2026 21:05:00
I think there is plenty of talent in the youth side. Many said Kante wasn't good enough, but apart from when we played a lower-league side in the cup (can't remember who), he has given a good account of himself. When he first played for West Ham, I was massively impressed with Potts, but if anything he has regressed, but hopefully a new manager can get the best out of him.

Scarles is better than Diouf. Don't know much about Earthy and Marshall.

25 May 2026 21:53:26
I have my doubts on Scarles. No doubt the fans want him to do well, but I see him playing lower down the pyramid in a few years.

I only single out Earthy and Potts, as both have won awards whilst out on loan with other clubs, Young / Player of the Year with their respective clubs. Lewis Orford is the other worth a mention.

Marshall might have a breakout season, but I would worry if it were him and another as the main forward options. I agree we should be looking to offer opportunities to the youngsters, but to say Kante, Fearon etc. is the midfield is a no from me. I don't see any of those, other than those I've specified, being West Ham players in the long run.

25 May 2026 16:58:24
WH receive official notice to remove Premiership flags by last day of the month.

25 May 2026 16:12:21
Villa make enquiry re Summerville... Galatasaray want to be informed if Soucek becomes available... Diouf, enquiry from Man United (that’s a surprise). Areola trying to get himself a move away, but a couple of interested clubs put off by his huge wage demands

Can’t see WH going for anybody to come in, until the manager situation is sorted out. Joyfull.

25 May 2026 19:48:26
Yep, it's as we keep saying. We need to get those sorted now, and not hang about.

25 May 2026 12:57:58
Crisis talks today (not sure, I can't believe no plan already in place) to sack Nuno, leaving Scott Parker as the clear front runner which is ok to get us up, but then what if and when we go back up?

25 May 2026 13:52:17
As I said on the other page, Parker is fine for getting us. Worry about what happens if we manage to get promoted; he might be ok in the Prem if he's backed. He's got promoted with clubs that haven't spent a lot to keep them up. It's hard to say, to be honest, but like I said, worry about it when it happens.

25 May 2026 14:53:07
Just want Nuno out. 🎉 Why not Parker, experienced ex player, knows the game inside out. Look what we've had with an experienced manager. 😡 Apart from that, you can't be too fussy, it's who's available & who's interested? Possibly prefer Bellamy if any truth in that he's sounded WH out about taking over?
⚒⚒⚒

25 May 2026 15:46:57
Parker was a great player but not a manager. Yes, he has got clubs promoted, but they have always done dreadfully once up. I don't think it would be right to get us up then sack him. I think, as well as Burnley, he managed Fulham and Bournemouth, both of whom improved vastly under the following managers.


From what I've heard about him, I would like Bellamy, but I think we may have to pay Wales compensation, so it probably won't happen with Sullivan in charge. Apparently, Bellamy has been very complimentary about West Ham fans, saying they are the most knowledgeable he experienced at his various clubs.

25 May 2026 17:33:07
Gary Oneil and Bilic are others, apparently, under consideration.

The thing is, we aren't a big club anymore. We are where we are, a small-minded club that got lucky with the stadium, getting it cheap. We are not going to attract a big name, unfortunately, so it's ex-players or take a chance on a younger European coach.

25 May 2026 17:45:51
Definitely not Bilic. Gary Oneill maybe, but again, where is the ambition?

25 May 2026 17:49:09
And whoever it is, get on with it, otherwise Sullivan will be doing the recruitment again.

25 May 2026 18:42:50
From what I heard, Bellamy approached West Ham and showed interest. He must have seen we were odds on for relegation.
