The Turkish outlet reported, as per Sporx [17 July], that the Hammers were impressed by the player’s performances at Euro 2024 as Turkey finished second in Group F, containing Portugal, Georgia and Czechia. It is understood, however, that the Galatasaray hierarchy do not intend to sell the 24-year-old striker, who is currently away on holiday after his exertions in Germany.

MANAGER Russell Martin revealed his fear that Flynn Downes would not re-sign for Saints amid interest in the midfielder from elsewhere. The St Mary’s side sealed the £18million transfer on Tuesday and broke the news at their PUMA kit launch in the evening. Downes shocked supporters present as he modelled the 2024/25 home kit, in a move that had only been planned since 5pm that same day. Premier League rivals Ipswich Town were prepared to match Southampton’s offer to West Ham but Downes opted to return to last season’s home. Martin, speaking at St Mary’s, said: “There was a moment…
West Ham United are eyeing Southampton defender Kyle Walker-Peters as an ‘easier’ signing than Manchester United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka, journalist Dean Jones has told Soccer4U. The Hammers are considering several options in their search for a new right-sided defender as they want to address the area ‘quickly’, according to Jones. One of the busiest Premier League clubs on the market, West Ham are also seriously looking for a new central forward and have previously shown interest in Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran. The 20-year-old is poised to leave Villa Park only 18 months after joining from Chicago Fire, as he struggled for…
Tottenham have handed Lucas Bergvall the No15 shirt ahead of his debut season with the club. The 18-year-old Swede has officially joined Spurs after an £8.5million deal was struck for his signature in February with Djurgarden following his rapid rise in his home country. And Spurs’ allocation of one of the more senior remaining squad numbers suggests Ange Postecoglou will hand Bergvall a serious chance in the first-team in 2024-25. The last Tottenham player to wear the No15 was Eric Dier, who held the shirt for almost a decade. Other previous incumbents include Robbie Keane, Peter Crouch, Etienne Capoue and…
Several Tottenham Hotspur players paid the price for their poor end to the 2023/24 Premier League season. It was probably a surprise because the London club started like a house on fire under their new manager Ange Postecoglou. After ten Premier League games, not only were Spurs playing the best football in the country, but they were also top of the Premier League table. It was even better considering many were tipping the team to struggle once Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich. Even Paul Merson was forced to eat his words and he changed his mind about Tottenham as…
There’s bad news for Chelsea as West Ham ramp up a move for a star Jude Bellingham says ‘not many players can stop’. Chelsea and West Ham have shared a fair few column inches during the summer transfer window so far. Both the Hammers and Blues are on the hunt for a striker. If the Irons were far too reliant on Jarrod Bowen for goals last season then so too were Chelsea when it comes to Cole Palmer – who Karren Brady revealed almost joined West Ham last summer. New head coaches are in place at the London Stadium and…
Change of Tactics- early signs are looking good. Watching yesterday’s friendly game in Austria, many would have found the match lacklustre as Hammers’ players plus Academy recruits played their first 90 minutes: Most, apart from Freddie Potts were changed at half time so their run-outs were limited to 45 minutes. Under new boss Lopetegui it was clear many of the younger players were keen to impress. The main question for me was – what kind of formation and tactics were The Irons set on developing? Were there any signs yesterday that would make me believe that the defensive approach of…
West Ham have reportedly begun talks with rivals over the signing of a 24-year-old winger. With Said Benrahma joining Lyon, Maxwel Cornet hardly ever being available and Lucas Paqueta’s future up in the air, it’s not hard to see why West Ham are so desperate to sign a left sided winger. It seems like rather than focusing on one deal at a time like they normally do, the Hammers are trying to get deals done for a striker, a right-back, and a winger all at the same time. While talks with players to fill the first two of those positions…
“Premier League Ready?” | Steidten Has Striker Concerns. West Ham United‘s quest for a new striker takes an interesting turn as reports indicate that Canadian forward Jonathan David might not be their top priority after all. David’s goal-scoring prowess is undeniable. The Canadian has amassed an impressive 43 goals in Ligue 1 over the past two seasons, including 19 goals and four assists in the recently concluded 2023/24 campaign. However, Tim Steidten, reportedly harbours reservations about David’s ability to adapt to the Premier League’s rigours. Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran has seemingly emerged as the favoured candidate, potentially relegating David to…
