West Ham v Manchester City: Edson Alvarez caught in ‘Shocking’ moment. Julen Lopetegui was told to substitute Edson Alvarez just 10 minutes into West Ham United’s clash at Manchester City by Perry Groves. Speaking live on talkSPORT 2 (4 January, 15:10), Groves laid into the Hammers midfielder after “ducking” out of heading the ball away, which led to Savinho firing a cross off Vladimir Coufal to open the scoring. The pundit insisted you don’t want players like that in the trenches, slamming the Mexican for his part in the conceded goal in the contest against the champions. “That is shocking…
Tottenham Hotspur defender Djed Spence has enjoyed a superb turnaround at Spurs this season. The Tottenham full-back has gone from being a near-certainty to be sold to recently securing himself a new Spurs contract until the summer of 2028. Spence initially struggled to make an impact at Spurs after joining from Middlesbrough back in 2022. Prior to this season, he had made just six appearances for Spurs and was sent out on loan three times while on the Lilywhites’ books. However, Spence worked hard in pre-season ahead of the 2024/25 campaign and has forced his way into Ange Postecoglou’s plans.…
West Ham have approached Brighton about the possibility of signing Evan Ferguson on loan this month, according to GiveMeSport’s Ben Jacobs. Jacobs revealed earlier in the week that while Arsenal, Fulham and the Hammers were all showing a keen interest in the 20-year-old, the Seagulls had not yet decided whether or not to sanction his AMEX Stadium exit in the middle of the season. The Republic of Ireland international has seen playing time limited under new boss Fabian Hurzeler this season, starting just twice in the Premier League and often being used as a late addition off the bench. It’s…
Mohammed Kudus has been speaking about all things West Ham United. West Ham have endured a really challenging 2024/25 season, and Mohammed Kudus has struggled under the leadership of Julen Lopetegui. However, I fully expect the 24-year-old to improve drastically during the second half of the campaign. Kudus suggested yesterday that the thing he loves most about East London is the West Ham fans. That was really nice to hear, especially given the reports linking him with a big money move to Arsenal this month. Hopefully Kudus will remain at the London Stadium for quite some time yet. He is…
Mohammed Kudus is probably the most valuable asset we have at West Ham United, alongside Jarrod Bowen. West Ham signed Mohammed Kudus from Ajax in the summer of 2023, for a fee believed to be worth around £38 million. On the whole, the 24-year-old has been exceptional for the Hammers, and he is now being linked with a mega move to Arsenal. It would be no surprise to see Kudus move on from the London Stadium at some point in the future. He’s perfectly suited to the robust nature of Premier League football, and has the potential to reach the…
West Ham United transfer shock as Tim Steidten confirms player wants to leave. Jean-Clair Todibo’s agent has stated that the defender will already leave West Ham after arriving in the summer. The Frenchman joined the Hammers on an initial season-long loan during the summer, with a £34million obligation-to-buy clause in the deal [BBC Sport], but his time in East London could already be cut short. Juventus were one of the teams attempting to acquire the young centre-back’s signature in the last window, even making a late hijack attempt near the end of the window [Sebastien Vidal]. Speaking via Radio Goal,…
West Ham transfer snub as Celtic set to seal big signing instead. West Ham have been rejected by Keiran Tierney with the Arsenal left-back set to move to Celtic, according to TBR Football. The report on 3 January claims that the Scotland international has chosen to return to his former club despite interest from Premier League teams. The Hammers are named alongside Leicester City and Brentford as clubs that approached the 27-year-old about a potential move. However, it states that the left-back has decided to move back to Celtic Park and reject the Irons’ advances. Left-back is a position of…
“Regretted going West Ham” – Agent suggests player wants exit, even claims director chat today. Jean-Clair Todibo joined West Ham from Nice in the summer transfer window and the move came after Juventus missed out on the Frenchman. The Turin club repeatedly tried to sign the defender on the cheap, believing he wouldn’t agree to go elsewhere. That plan was ruined when Todibo accepted a move to West Ham and Nice accepted a Hammers offer. Since his arrival at the London Stadium, the defender has struggled to make an impact. He started the season slow and while he has featured…
Lopetegui’s arrival in the Summer and the friendlies and Florida tour which followed, produced some pretty big career decisions for several players: Within a few weeks of the Spaniard’s arrival, players had been selected for the squad or earmarked for dispatch on loan. Youngsters George Earthy and Freddie Potts were sent off to championship sides for the season. Some were elbowed out on deadline day to make way for the coach’s preferred incoming deadline day recruits. Nayef Aguerd, James Ward Prowse and Maxi Cornet were all cast out to make way for Lopetegui’s picks. Carlos Soler came in to compliment…
West Ham have struggled to find consistency under Julen Lopetegui this season, after spending around £120m in the summer window, bringing ten new players into the squad, and also trying to implement an entirely new system. One key area for concern has been midfield, with this issue stretching back to the 2023 summer when Declan Rice left the club. Since then, West Ham have been unable to find the right balance needed in the middle of the park. A lack of mobility has been pinpointed as a cause for concern, especially given how Lopetegui likes to set up, which could…
