West Ham Transfer Rumours

18 Aug 2026 10:05:55
Notice that sites are saying up to another 10 players are leaving this WONT be the case

Areola on half wages he's still picking up 60 k a week there's not any but top clubs can match that he's going nowhere

Alvarez three clubs are interested, but the deals, don't interest WH, further none of these clubs can match his present half wages he's still on 50 k a week, if he wants to go out on loan, and play for half that money up to him No subsides from WH

Magassa WH are not letting him go for silly money, and there's no concrete interest in him whatsoever up till today

Kante WH would be mad to let him go unless they get a whopping offer, which I don't see

Awb 95% certain to leave before window closes His lengthy contract at WH is what's holding him up,

Todibo already discussed gone before window shuts unfortunately not permanently

Fulkrug the same

Taty no interest anywhere in recent times

JWP no interest bench until contract expires next summer

Cornet identical as above

Mavropanos There was plenty of interest but never a formal bid, 95% staying

Kilman, We all wish there was a bid!

Have I missed anybody? So Todibo awb to go Magassa if a proper bid comes in? , think we are coming to the end of sales unless WH get something unexpected coming in, that you can never tell

18 Aug 2026 10:17:44
Diouf?

18 Aug 2026 10:39:42
Deal agreed last night, gone soon. As it stands, see previous post.

18 Aug 2026 10:51:26
Yeah, good summary, Joyful. Again, I am not too bothered as long as we have replacements lined up.

18 Aug 2026 11:02:55
I do hope we get a move on as well, otherwise we will be selling players and run out of time trying to find similar players.

18 Aug 2026 11:21:20
That's the problem.

18 Aug 2026 08:50:27
Piroe, turns out that the obligation on loan, becomes into force only on promotion.

So if WH fail, they can return the player or renegotiate terms.

18 Aug 2026 09:18:13
Yes, I think most of us expected that to be the case. It makes the most sense.

I think I read his last 4 seasons in the Championship: he scored 22, 19, 14, 19.

I'd be happy with the average of that! (18.5).

Still only 27, so should be at the top of his game. Decent fitness record too, I believe.

17 Aug 2026 23:05:10
Diouf, Brentford have made firm offer tonight £36 m plus 4.5 m addons, it’s all about the structure of the deal. Now, WH have told the bees whilst they will accept the offer, In principle, they have to make large down payment. No long term contract either.

18 Aug 2026 07:55:12
Wow £41m for Diouf!!! That's ridiculously high for a player I didn't think was that special last year. Go get Harrison Burrows.

18 Aug 2026 09:01:33
I quite rate him to be fair and think Brentford will turn him into a monster, but at that price we probably have to accept.

18 Aug 2026 09:18:37
I hope to God Joyful can shed some light on potential replacements for Diouf and AWB?

18 Aug 2026 09:21:42
It's all a balance, merry-go-round:

Club finances
Player's preferences
Available cover in the existing squad
New money for further reinforcements

And so on and so on.

All things considered, I'd take this deal.

18 Aug 2026 09:24:06
It's a question of circumstances. To be fair, the player never gave any problems. Unlike many others, he never asked to leave. It is what it is.
Unfortunately West Ham could sell the whole current squad, and get nowhere near the whole debt, but Kretinsky has done fantastic on sales.
Now we must bring in players.

18 Aug 2026 10:44:37
Mac, Veltman cover for wp is all that looks likely for AWB.

Lb is a different story, Burrows is the obvious candidate. They're already looking. Sheff Utd will sell, remains to be seen.

17 Aug 2026 18:45:14
Fulkrug has gone, he had given up this season's wages 2.75 m to take 30 k a week from Werder Bremen, limpet gone till season's end, pity there’s a further season on his contract, however he might stay on there and void his last year with a bit of luck.

17 Aug 2026 19:16:23
He has to pass medical first lol. 😆 😂 🤣

17 Aug 2026 20:16:11
Isn't that great news though!? Off the wage bill this season. He'll deffo stay there.

18 Aug 2026 06:07:40
Finally. Now to get rid of Tobido and AWB, more trouble causers.

Interesting. Kante and Mougassa for sale at right price. Suppose the clear out was coming, but am surprised at Kante being on the list.

18 Aug 2026 07:49:35
Dog eat dog world. I think just about any player anywhere is available for the right price. However, I will be very surprised and disappointed if Kante leaves. He has been front and centre so far this season, so clearly in the manager's plans.

17 Aug 2026 16:22:24
Todibo, as imagined, Marseille want WH contribution to wages NO say WH, they are willing to pay Todibo 25 k a week, want 15 k from WH. Forget it.

So Todibo may go to Marseille for the season, get 25 k a week, lose 750 k in wages this season.



Loan with option. Unfortunately this character has another three years on his contract.

Looks like Fulkrug will be off before the window closes, big write down on paper, but minimum 5.5 m saved in wages. We unfortunately have to get rid of these people

17 Aug 2026 18:00:18
Good riddance.

17 Aug 2026 15:06:30
So Piroe in for medical tomorrow. Now shift JWP and go get Edvin Austbo at £10m, Louza from Watford £10m then Daniel Job £5m.

17 Aug 2026 15:28:58
Nobody wants JWP, there's been no interest of any kind. He will sit on the bench getting 55 k a week till season's end, then leave on a free, ditto Cornet at 31 k a week.

I would be truly surprised if anyone came in for them.

17 Aug 2026 15:48:10
We won't be able to shift JWP. We should just try and do a deal with him to buy him to virtually pay him off.
He has had 3 loan moves (I think) and failed at all of them.
Nobody wants him.

17 Aug 2026 16:04:37
Too much to pay him off. He would want £3 m, Cornet 1 m.

Problem here is, no sooner plans arrive to exit old limpets, new ones arrive. I'm no fan of Nuno, but in fairness, he hasn't upset anybody. Some people, like Magassa, think they should be playing, first choice ok. Nuno offers the bench to start, come on, show what you can do.



Thinks he's being mistreated, just rubbish. So he's blanked himself off, childish. In the end, if someone doesn't want to play, West Ham can stop payments and withhold registration, so his football days are ended. West Ham don't want £5 m for players they paid £15 m for, no bids for him at all.

17 Aug 2026 17:11:47
Austbo, yes please. I guess the Watford guy has experience, but I do like the idea of Sydie Peck (I guess Sheff Utd wouldn't want to sell anyway). Beggars can't be choosers, & we're begging!

17 Aug 2026 17:34:13
We were less than impressive yesterday. That won't help either. WH need to be aggressive and get players in.

If WH think that Engels and Piroe alone will get them promoted, it won't.

WH showed a bit of class first half, but created no chances, got a fortunate goal, then collapsed. Not a great debut.

17 Aug 2026 20:18:09
We were missing Engels & Soucek in that team. They'll make a difference, but I understand the frustration.
We need another 5 in across a number of positions.

16 Aug 2026 12:11:46
A player can make all the arrangements they want. Marseille always do the same.
Small matter of an agreement with WH.
Marseille are known as the poverty pleaders.
Stand by for a low bid strung out like chewing gum.

WH need to move Todibo on, he’s an obstacle, should be interesting.

17 Aug 2026 12:00:59
Further bit of information. Staveley, proposal for new ground.

Her consortium had already looked around, and concluded there wasn’t enough space at Stratford, for the ground with necessary amenities, and even if they flattened it, it would cause massive oroblems for years for every concern in the area, after that where would WH play for 3 years?



So where actually thinking of having the ground near the M11 motorway, between Harlow and Stansted, now while that sounds like a good idea, with own approach road, there are no public connections whatsoever.

There are other sites, but that would be the easiest for planning. Lot of talk, but not so easy in reality.

It’s all rather unlikely now.

17 Aug 2026 11:42:15
Staveley has baulked at the midgets £400 m asking price for his shareholding, of course he was always going to demand Premier money, true value at present is maximum. £250 m.

Kretinsky has until Friday 25th September to buy gold shares, so he will get window done first, then revert to the purchase.

Once that’s done, unless Staveley wants to spend mad money with Sullivan, she’s done as far as WH are concerned.



Once he had bought the shares, although the windows shut, he can then put money in, obviously it dilutes the shareholdings but that’s another matter.

WH are caught between two stalls, spend. Go up much easier to sort out the finances.

Don’t spend, take a chance, go up great, don’t whole club needs restructure, that would be the opportunity for Staveley.

16 Aug 2026 14:29:08
Piroe, Leeds have received interest from Ajax, and Strasbourg in the last hours.

Jordan James, Forest may counter WH. Here we need to move on this.

16 Aug 2026 19:17:24
I thought Taty looked a bit disinterested today. I hope it's not the case, as we can ill afford him departing whilst we are trying to get someone in to help him with the goals.

16 Aug 2026 19:35:34
He thinks he is too good to be playing at that level, there's been no interest in him or anywhere near WH valuation.

17 Aug 2026 01:22:11
Idiotic decision not to proceed with Parrott. Hope Piroue is just a smokescreen for a proper Parrott bid.
Are we still in for James? I thought that ship had sailed.
Judging from the Burnley game, get the guy in!! Stop faffing about, West Ham.

17 Aug 2026 10:04:51
Not that simple.

16 Aug 2026 14:22:00
Piroe, WH offered 17.25 euros, Leeds want a little more, so the talks continue, with Leeds saying take him on loan no fee but obligation 20 m euro.

It’s close; you can see an agreement happening here.

16 Aug 2026 11:44:34
News has hit out about Piroe from Leeds CF, good second choice. This is his level. Over the season he could do well
We await top striker. Lots of goals must be scored in this league to get out, good choice

So far WH have done very well in the market
There’s problems coming up with the skint merchants Marseille, trying to do deals for nothing with Todibo, a test of WH firmness

Magassa trying hard to be the next Todibo.

He needs outing. He’s been trying to get himself fixed ip since end May without any luck

One suprise is WH might sell Kante, this is not necessary and we should keep him.

16 Aug 2026 12:03:00.
Tobido on his way to Marseille, good riddance.

I quite like Piroe. Got lots of goals at this level for Leeds.

Magassa becoming another Tobido, so get rid.

Took a while for us to get moving in the transfer market, but now things are looking really encouraging. Long may it continue.

16 Aug 2026 12:22:02
Strange they would want to sell Kante, as he has played a lot in pre-season and you would think he would get a lot of game time. Magassa has hardly played, which is a shame, as I thought there would be a decent player in there, maybe in this division they feel they can do without DMF and go a bit more attacking.

16 Aug 2026 13:00:13
I think it would be a pure financial decision, Robbo. Kante cost us virtually nothing and we can sell for a decent price, so the credit and debit columns show a large proportionate difference. That would not be the same if we sell Magassa. This way of treating football is all wrong, but it is the world we live in.


I personally think it would be a terrible decision, as I feel he could be a really important future player for us, and Magassa should be the one to make way, as I feel he has a slightly inflated view of himself.

16 Aug 2026 13:15:25
I agree, Hammer. Id much rather keep Kante, especially for this division, but it seems like they would shift these 2 and Alvarez. Hence the DMF (not Kante's best position, I think, but he can play there) comment. Maybe they feel they can do without.

16 Aug 2026 14:17:42
Interested clubs in Alvarez can't pay his wages anyway. I think he's staying. WH will get what they want or leave it. For others, if you wish to give players away ala Sullivan, you can get rid quick. WH are achieving sales which Sullivan couldn't have dreamt of.

15 Aug 2026 22:28:31
Next week WH are going to get call re Fikayo Tomori. Milan will offer him for circa £14 m.

This needs thinking about. He's a very good Cb, if Disasi not coming, at that money, it’s a no brainer.

Obviously he would have to be convinced re the championship, but he wants London return.



We would all like Disasi to return, but can’t stay in promise land.



WH need to force the Disasi situation, yes/no, and if necessary move on

15 Aug 2026 22:26:06
Todibo wanted by Marsaille. They want a loan. West Ham want a sale.

16 Aug 2026 11:47:22
String of onions, and a beret. This mob are ridiculous.

15 Aug 2026 13:44:30
Apparently AZ have left Parrot out of their squad this weekend, they say he’s got a knock but I think we all might know the real reason. 😉

16 Aug 2026 15:29:10
Final score reporting: Parrot deal off, as West Ham didn't match £25Million asking price, and Pirot now looking more likely.
