West Ham Transfer Rumours

09 Jul 2026 18:07:37
WH have agreed a loan to Koln for Alvarez in principle. WH do not want to contribute to his wages and they want a mandatory, so discussion continues.

Galatasaray have come on the scene as well as Eintracht but all want loans only.

WH have been very able in the market so far, but they must avoid getting another player, back at seasons end, to spend his last year on the bench, we have those already.

And this is shaping up for the same.


For me, sell him at a reduced price, offload his wages, he doesn’t want to play at WH, more fool him, get rid.

09 Jul 2026 09:15:27
Form an orderly queue, we now have Arsenal, Spurs, Everton. Newcastle, Sunderland, Fulham, Fenerbache, Galatasaray, vying for Wan Bissaka

Wh have to get maximum money here.

Evander mdf Cincinnati MLS, Wh are reasonably serious here, American club want £20 m which is on the high side, it’s a bit of a gamble here.

The Brazilian wants 50 k dollars a week which is doable.

09 Jul 2026 11:31:25
Just had a look at Evander, and his stats are really, really good, but he's 28 and plied his trade at a fairly mediocre level. I wonder if he's a bit of a problem child in the dressing room, as why else wouldn't he have been picked up with those stats? Bit risky, I'd say.

09 Jul 2026 13:42:46
Yeh, bit of a gamble. MLS standards have vastly improved, so judgement becomes difficult. I'm sure that West Ham have taken this into account.

08 Jul 2026 21:31:04
Back to Chelsea. WH have agreed. Fee with Chelsea for Disasi it’s close to £20 m plus £5 m addons, if the player is willing to leave

Whether WH will buy without selling Summerville to Chelsea is unknown, Disasi has 3 other offers. And has to consider going into the championship

He wants some guarantees from WH which are unknown,

This is very ambitious for WH now a championship.

Club, his wages are very high 78 k a week

He’s a very honest straightforward player. And said if WH were in the premiership. There’s nothing to think about, but naturally has to think it through

He’s top of Nunos list at CB,

Personally, I’m with this and hope he comes.

09 Jul 2026 14:18:58
Would love to get Disasi, he would be the boss at the back that would sort everything out.

08 Jul 2026 19:04:29
Following yesterday's post re Alonso Xabi, wanting Summerville, talks take place next week, Disasi may be part of that conversation.

Problem are his wages in the championship he’s on 78 k a week, which WH paid whilst he was on loan.

Although WH are shooting after different CBS, he’s still high on the list, if something can be sorted out.

08 Jul 2026 16:17:41
Bright mbi, Braga, CB, Nuno knows this player and wants him, however Braga tell WH, the player has a 50 m euro release clause in his contract.

Conversation stops dead, as you can imagine!

Braga of course can negotiate, but this player is going to cost a lot of euros.

08 Jul 2026 16:14:00
Todibo, WH have today turned down loan to buy option for the player.

Marseille don’t have the money to buy at present and WH do not see the point, of letting out on loan and for certain getting him back at season's end.



Nice have also enquired. His old club, but again it’s a loan to buy option, WH will let him out on a mandatory loan, that’s it at present.

08 Jul 2026 19:26:59
Hi Joyful, can you clarify a mandatory loan is a loan with an obligation to buy at an agreed amount, much in the way we bought him? Is that what you're saying?

08 Jul 2026 20:31:05
Yes, Dabber, a mandatory loan is an obligation to buy at the end of the loan COYI.

08 Jul 2026 20:59:23
Yes, mandatory. Is the football expression "obligation" the normal word in English?

08 Jul 2026 21:38:17
Thanks guys. 👍🏼

08 Jul 2026 15:28:51
Gabriel Pereira, Cb Copenhagen, what are the chances of a bid for this player?

Quite high, as Koppen has talked Nuno around. Seems ok, pending on price, looks good for the championship.

Vargas, couple of days past, I stated that Brighton were the front runners here, and have been since June.

The player is odds on favourite to go there. WH came in last week. Ok, but many are stating that Brighton have come in late to beat WH, just silly talk. If WH can turn it around, great, but unlikely.

08 Jul 2026 11:30:26
Further to previous post, Eintracht Frankfurt have now appeared on the scene for Alvarez.

WH are hoping for a sale wherever to close the matter.

08 Jul 2026 12:17:47
What a shame. I was hoping he'd stay now that Potter has gone. He's just the type of player we need.

08 Jul 2026 12:36:23
For reasons unknown, maybe he doesn’t want to be in the Championship, he’s acting against his agent's advice.

West Ham would rather not loan him out, they don’t want the prospect of him returning after a year, to then further mess about in the last year of his contract, which is understandable.



We already have 4 problems: Todibo, Fullkrug, Cornet, JWP. We don’t need the potential of another.

08 Jul 2026 18:43:17
Seems to be some reports Cologne are interested as well, which incidentally is where Tim Steidten is now.

08 Jul 2026 18:55:35
Koln (Cologne) is what I posted yesterday.

08 Jul 2026 11:07:46
Diouf. Everton have just popped up with serious enquiry for this player

Although there is interest elsewhere, no team has as yet come forward with any serious proposal until now

However WH and Everton are well apart on valuation.

The Toffees are around 15 m while WH looking at 25 m

Before any deal is made, Diouf will have to make up his mind, staying or leaving, and that decision will be pushed on him, as WH want to get on with things.

08 Jul 2026 16:46:00
West Ham and get on with things shouldn't be muttered in the same sentence!

A decent bid and let him go. Scarles more than good enough for the Championship.

08 Jul 2026 21:03:45
West Ham have made a low bid for Burrows of Sheffield Utd, knocked back, but they will take a low but not stupid bid for the player, which makes me think Diouf is likely to leave.

Long season. 2 players each position will be the target, Scarles, Burrows, Rb, if Diouf leaves.

08 Jul 2026 21:12:51
KWP can also play there, but hopefully he will be the main man at RB next season.

08 Jul 2026 09:29:36
Looks like WH have made their decision on Alvarez, it appears that behind the scenes, the player has told Nuno, he prefers not to return to WH, against the advice of his agent.

With that WH have made their decision. Not to make him part of the squad, WH are prepared to loan him to Koln, but do not want to be involved with his wages.



In truth WH would prefer to sell, full stop, maybe at a reduced price, and clear two years wages off the books.

It’s all rather strange, a month past, he said he
was looking forward Returning to WH under new manager, to get them back to Premier !

Football is a funny game !

07 Jul 2026 18:41:31
Alvarez conflict of interest, his agent is asking him to rethink his situation. Koln want to pay him £35 k a week, whereas at WH he’s on 50 k after his salary is halved.
If WH are promoted his last year of contract gets him 100 k a week.



Alvarez, to put regular football first over money?

He can leave on loan, but WH want his wages paid in full, let’s see how this pans out

07 Jul 2026 21:26:04
Wouldn't he get more game time as well as better wages with us? Silly move for him. No point in a loan imo. Koln could be relegated next season, or Alvarez gets injured and they won't take an option. Wouldn't be too sad to see the back of him, and get a younger, quicker midfielder in.

07 Jul 2026 10:12:38
May remember few weeks back when I suggested that Xabi Alonso taking over at Chelsea, could possibly evolve things for WH

Well WH have the right attitude. They want the best money they can get on exits irregardless of destination.

Of course their may be exceptions if it suits.

There’s no question WH want Disasi back, if at all possible? and Summerville to Blueco, may work, obviously it has to suit Summerville. And then the maths both ways have to work as well, WH can only push a player in a direction so far, and he’s on holiday at present, we will see if anything develops.

06 Jul 2026 22:29:53
Edson Alvarez! Koln have just made an offer to WH for £15 m euro
Likely WH will order him back, than take that kind of money.
He’s worth more than that both as a player, and as a sale, if he doesn’t want to return.



He could be more than useful, to WH, they should convince him to stay, rather than let him go on the cheap.

07 Jul 2026 10:57:42
Hopefully we can keep Handy, as along with Magsssa can play DM or CB. Need a bit of flexibility in the squad, also adds some leadership.

07 Jul 2026 11:27:39
Get rid. Another bad apple.

07 Jul 2026 11:49:24
Different views on here, Alvarez talks with Nuno next week, coming or going, we shall see?

07 Jul 2026 13:14:38
I would like to see him stay, but think he will leave. His only issue was he didn't get on with Potter, well he's hardly alone there. The only thing I would say is it would leave us with Edson, Magassa, Kante and Potts, all similar players, surely 1 or 2 would have to go or go out on loan.

07 Jul 2026 14:14:52
That may well be the deciding factor. West Ham may decide to let him go.

06 Jul 2026 18:04:07
Now Fulham make official approach enquiry Bissaka, the more the merrier, price must rise.

06 Jul 2026 21:08:46
To be fair, AWB has been one of our best players, if not our best, over the last 2 seasons.

06 Jul 2026 22:39:17
He was good at the WC... I'd say 25M at least.

07 Jul 2026 07:44:14
Thought he didn't look that interested towards the end, and in a relegation battle as well. He was slowly jogging out to close players down. Annoyed me, he put in his worst performances when we needed him.

07 Jul 2026 08:11:45
I tend to agree with Al. He was absolutely brilliant his first season, but last season, when he was at AFCON, we definitely missed him. But when he returned, he had a few really good games, but for some reason lost interest when we really needed it.

In the end, KWP seemed a better bet than AWB. He should get a decent sum because his talent is there for sure; it's just a case of if he can be bothered to show it.

07 Jul 2026 13:57:46
Kwp is a more intelligent footballer, in and out of possession. Awb is always caught napping at the back post, goes on mazy runs with not much thought behind them, and his pace gets him out of trouble a lot.

06 Jul 2026 17:37:24
Brentford. Make official approach for Wan Bissaka, WH need to rethink his price. We now have Fenerbache. Sunderland, Arsenal, Everton, Brentford, Newcastle, and two unnamed sides after the player, so £10 m forget it. Got to be double.
