West Ham’s most imminent exit was seemingly Mohammed Kudus, with Chelsea at the top of the list fighting for his signature; however, over the past couple of days, Chelsea have now turned their attention to Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, who has now agreed a multi-year deal.
It does beg the question for West Ham fans: where is Kudus now expected to go? The player has ruled out Saudi as an option and wants to play European football, with now Arsenal, Spurs and Newcastle the only known teams of interest, but none are ready to match the asking price the Hammers are asking for.
Bayer Leverkusen & Atletico Madrid have dropped interest in Nayef Aguerd after signing targets elsewhere in the central defender department. The other past rumour contained Fullkrug having Real Madrid interested in him after Xabi Alonso ‘admired’ the German international, but even that’s far-fetched with Nichlas not being the top name.
In regard to missed targets, Sunderland has broken their club record to beat us for Habib Diarra’s signature, not really like they had much competition from us, but he’s now a name removed from our list. Onyedika from Club Brugge is at the top of that list for us, but we face tough competition from Everton and Fulham.
It’s slowly starting to emerge that we will end up having a ‘last-ditch’ window, with all our signings coming in August just before the season starts. Who would’ve thought that being dependent on player sales would cause such issues?

We are clearly struggling
We are far from an attractive offering, I think we are sixth favourites for the drop.
Sullivan is throwing out all of these deflectors that we are linked with every Tom, Dick and Carlos Kickabout, I dont believe any of them. The simple fact is Season Ticket uplift is struggling and the prospect of new players will increase sales.
You would have to be an
You would have to be an absolute sucker to buy a season ticket based on incoming players. We've had a gutful of the boards lies and spin. It's time fans voted the current board and owners out by not rocking up anymore.
yes agree
nothing new here always the same .may be better of keeping all of them and playing them next season could do far worse, buying at the last moment never works out for us .and bringing in some of the youngsters who want to play for us could be a much better proposition
The only Imminent exit at West Ham
Is ours from the premier league
nice one mcbike
and how about putting in a cheeky bid for Liverpool's young Harvey Elliott got to be worth a go
Seems Kudus was everyone's
Seems Kudus was everyone's second choice. Are the club valuing him on his first seasons performances and not taking into account last seasons?
I was quite hopeful regarding Harvey Elliott but I think his performances in the Euros may have added an extra £10m to his valuation. Have we actually bid for anyone? 2 weeks into the 2nd window and nothing
We will not be winning this window.
Dartford, Carlos Kickabout oh
Dartford, Carlos Kickabout oh the memories. Literally PMSL, that's made my weekend. Oh to wish for Harvey Elliott, I said the same as Enfield to Boogerscaravan Jnr. Another 15k on top. Bring on Carlos Kickabout...
