West Ham Demand Big Money for Defender as Barca Come Calling. West Ham will not allow on-loan defender Nayef Aguerd to leave on the cheap next season. The Moroccan centre-back has been in exemplary form for Real Sociedad since moving to La Liga on loan and has attracted interest from some of Europe’s top clubs. The former Stade Rennais F.C. defender moved to the London Stadium in the summer of 2022 for £30m after being chased by David Moyes. Unfortunately, Aguerd never settled into the former manager’s defensive system and struggled to adapt to the Premier League. As a result,…
West Ham United chief Kyle Macaulay ‘at risk of first transfer howler’ already. Kyle Macaulay has been thrown in somewhat at the deep end since taking over as West Ham United’s head of recruitment. The 38-year-old was plucked from the same position he held at Chelsea last month – far from ideal given the winter transfer window was already in full swing. Throw in the exit of Tim Steidten around the same time and it is fair to say the Irons’ transfer thinking was not exactly in unison. Still, United managed to bring in Even Ferguson from Brighton and Hove…
Major update on West Ham’s pursuit of summer deal for 172-goal striker. West Ham may have signed Evan Ferguson but the club has a lot of work to do to overhaul the striker department in the summer. There has been understandable disappointment among West Ham fans that Evan Ferguson has only arrived on a straight loan. Worse still the prospect of the Hammers signing Ferguson permanently looks bleak. That piles the pressure on the West Ham board to back Graham Potter and Kyle Macauley in the summer window. While David Sullivan and co have been taking flak for a lack…
Graham Potter Set to Unlock Deadly Double Act. West Ham’s decision to recall midfielder James Ward-Prowse from his unsuccessful loan spell at Nottingham Forest was greeted with a lukewarm response. During a less-than-exciting transfer window, the return of a player already on West Ham’s books failed to capture the imagination. However, from the little I’ve seen of new Hammers boss Graham Potter so far, I am confident that the new gaffer will be able to get the very best out of Ward-Prowse. Potter is nothing if not a pragmatist. Unlike former head coach Julen Lopetegui, the Hammers’ new manager does…
Andoni Iraola rubs salt in West Ham wound with admission on Bournemouth striker deal. A senior West Ham source described Bournemouth beating them to Eli Junior Kroupi as “a game” multi-club owners play. The West Ham board have been heavily criticised for a lack of transfer activity in the winter window. Evan Ferguson was West Ham’s only signing as he arrived on a straight loan from Brighton. Many feel the club showed a lack of ambition – especially as they lost out to Premier League rivals Bournemouth for hot prospect Eli Junior Kroupi. The transfer window can do funny things…
West Ham Eye Sensational Craig Dawson Return After Wolves Contract Twist. Dawson Return After Wolves Contract Twist, West Ham United former favourite Craig Dawson could sensationally have his Wolverhampton Wanderers contract torn up, according to an update in The Athletic today. Dawson became a cult hero at West Ham after an impressive loan spell from Watford, which led to the Hammers signing the towering centre-back for a bargain fee. In terms of value for money, his signing ranks among the club’s best transfer deals in recent years. A goal-scoring defender with a no-nonsense style, Dawson was a firm fan favourite.…
Guido Rodriguez ‘finished’ under Graham Potter as West Ham transfer news emerges. Graham Potter was given just weeks to change the West Ham squad after replacing Julen Lopetegui last month. Maxwel Cornet was the only senior outgoing transfer, albeit he has started just two Premier League starts over the last two seasons, with James Ward-Prowse returning from The City Ground. The former Brighton and Chelsea boss did get one key transfer before the transfer window slammed shut – Evan Ferguson on a loan deal. With Danny Ings failing to make an impression at the London Stadium, and Michail Antonio and…
Culture at West Ham must change, Luizao situation is stone cold proof of that. West Ham United centre-back Luizao is a good example of everything that’s wrong with the club right now. Luizao joined West Ham on a free transfer from Sao Paulo way back in January 2023. However, we still haven’t seen the 22-year-old play for the senior team. Amazingly, he remained at the London Stadium beyond the January transfer window, despite the fact that NINE clubs wanted to sign him! What made the situation even stranger was that Luizao was said to be very keen to leave the…
Tim Steidten breaks silence after West Ham sacking and it’s pure class. West Ham United decided to part ways with Tim Steidten recently, after his 18-month spell at the London Stadium. Tim Steidten was announced as the new West Ham director of football in July 2023. He fell out with David Moyes during the 2023/24 season, and the same happened with Julen Lopetegui the following season. Steidten did actually warn the Hammers owners against appointing Lopetegui in the first place. The German clearly wasn’t a fan of the Spaniard, and the fact that the club had so many arms pulling…
West Ham simply won’t believe what’s happened to Gianluca Scamacca now. Things didn’t work out for Gianluca Scamacca during his solitary season with West Ham and he’s been hit by a devastating new blow. When West Ham decided to sell Gianluca Scamacca to Atalanta for £27.5m it divided opinion among fans. The Hammers gave up on Scamacca after just one season, taking a £3m loss as the Italian was shipped out in August 2023. Then boss David Moyes was criticised over his handling of the 6ft 5in striker, who became the latest in a long line of strikers to flop…
