West Ham FC Rumours

01 Jun 2026 11:46:51
Napoli, Inter Athletico, Arsenal, are all now chasing for Fernandes. WH would be seriously mad to allow ManU to steal him for £52 m.

Whichever way you look at it, WH must maximise this sale, as it is the key money maker they have. Others will bring in funds, no question.

But this is the main one. With all these clubs chasing, WH are under no pressure whatsoever. £65 m is the minimum they have been advised to take; they should also insist on minimum 50% up front, and two seasons maximum for the balance ………. Joyfull

I would agree, start at 65mil - I generally believe in a few years' time he will be one of the best in the world.
If we then can bank another 30mil for Summerville, that's pretty much what was needed this summer in terms of money coming in on transfers.

01 Jun 2026 14:54:25
I thought we should be aiming to get 70-80m.

01 Jun 2026 14:59:49
But we know Sullivan will rather sell cheap, so he doesnt have to put any of his own money in. Also, generally, what would be the point in selling Summerville for 30m. 5m more than we paid, keeping a player of that level ensures youre in with a chance of coming back up, which is worth a lot more than a 5m profit on a player, considering Gordon is going for 80m, who I dont think is as good as Summerville.

Same goes for talk of Bowen to Chelsea for 40m. We are just as bad at selling players than we are buying, maybe worse. I cant see Bowen kicking up a stink to leave, and Id be saying to Summerville, get us back up. Unless a team in Europe/Champions League comes in for 40-50m, then fair enough.

30 May 2026 11:13:42
I think once we finally get our house in order (director of Football in, players finally sold and bought), Wolves will be the team to chase cause they are already doing some sound business and already a long way ahead of us.

30 May 2026 09:38:29
Fernandes, Man Utd are right on this, Wh have already pushed away two lowball bids
Now they have moved up to 50 m from 40 m, and are offering a player or two on top of, or part of a deal.



Wh can get more without p/ex, and just what players are they going to be for the championship?

On the other hand, Man Utd have youngsters, see if it goes anywhere.

30 May 2026 10:39:26
I think, as you state above, cash plus players wouldn't be a bad idea this summer, as long as the players offered can do the job in the Championship, and potentially in the prem in future. From Man Utd, maybe that young left back from Paraguay, Diego Leon. Shea Lacey is an interesting player.

30 May 2026 10:51:33
See what they come up with?

WH Hope someone else will come in with big money, to make a bidding competition for the player, that's a possibility, and will stop WH getting tempted too soon.

30 May 2026 21:33:35
Arsenal are very interested in him as well.

30 May 2026 23:45:22
Grab Nwaneri off Arsenal. Would be happy with that. ?

30 May 2026 09:28:33
Ziotkowski. Bit of a mouthful, Cb Roma, fancied by Wh... Roma thinking part of a deal taking Summerville to them?

P/ex. Looks bit unlikely to me.

29 May 2026 11:36:07
At this time, cannot verify Nuno's new terms. It is believed he is on a similar deal to the last (with the same break clause). His wages have been cut, but he is on a promotion bonus that, if we do return the first season, would bring his wages back to premier par, so he has been incentivised to do well

Let’s be clear, I am no fan of Nuno, and a lot of your arguments make good sense to me

However, I did not see a queue of superstars, banging on the door.

The alternatives were, realistically, either just two people, or take a gamble on an unknown

Let’s see how it evolves, WH cannot afford in reality to stay in the championship for more than two seasons and if Nuno doesn’t perform, he will be gone pronto

29 May 2026 09:23:50
No Panorama about Sullivan tonight?

29 May 2026 11:57:23
I think it's on Monday, Joyful.

29 May 2026 12:02:35
The print up for panorama on Monday, is about maternity as listed?

29 May 2026 13:43:29
Oops set Sky to record it, as a father of 4 teenagers maternity has long past its interest for me! ?

29 May 2026 22:00:18
As I said, just after Christmas. This is nothing new. Panorama have been trying to release it for a while. A certain post on a social media site was used to delay it previously. He is an old hat at this, and the Panorama team have to get everything right. It will come out, but there is certainly a battle on.

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.

29 May 2026 08:39:09
His Instagram post came across as if he would help get us back up. Unfortunately, any big players that would stay will be pushed so the board can put in as little money as possible. A firesale and rebuild is good for Sullivan's favoured agents. 40m euros is peanuts for Summerville, imo. Hold on to him. Bowen, Taty, we come back up.

29 May 2026 08:46:02
The agents will decide where they go, they have so much influence with players now. Add to that, as Al says, Sullivan will want to cash in, and he is one of the more sellable assets. I think he will go, to be honest. They could just offer Traore a new contract instead. He could do that job at Championship level.

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?
