West Ham Transfer rumour round-up

Only one day remaining until silly season starts and the transfer window opens. David Moyes has told reporters that West Ham must sell before we can buy and many are primed to leave. Said Benrahma, Nayef Aguerd, Maxwel Cornet, Ben Johnson, Aaron Cresswell, Danny Ings and Pablo Fornals are all available depending on which newspaper you read. So Claret & Hugh have compiled a list of the latest Hammers News & Gossip in our West Ham transfer rumour round-up.

Latest rumours & gossip

1. Jonathan Tah on West Ham’s Radar: West Ham are reportedly eyeing a move for Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah. Whilst adding a new defender might not seem an immediate priority, the evolving situation with Nayef Aguerd might force the issue.
2. Joe Worrall’s Potential Move: Nottingham Forest’s Joe Worrall, previously linked with West Ham last summer, has emerged as a serious proposition, according to reliable sources, including the London Evening Standard. With David Moyes exploring defensive options, Worrall could be a key target for the Hammers. This rumour has far more substance than the links with Wigan’s 20 year old Charlie Hughes.
3. Divin Mubama’s Future Uncertainty: Teenage striker Divin Mubama has teased a first-team breakthrough this season, showing glimpses of his potential in eight senior appearances. However, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season, Mubama has yet to commit to a new deal, raising questions about his future with the club.
4. Ben Johnson’s Crucial 6 Months: Full-back Ben Johnson faces a pivotal period in his career with his contract expiring in 6 months. Despite previous promise, injuries and competition for places have stalled his development. Johnson has never fully regained the trust of David Moyes following last seasons mauling at Brighton.
