With the activity not stopping until September 1st, West Ham are actively trying to make a few more signings whilst still trying to focus on exits to help the Hammers financially across the season.

After joining Southampton in 2023 and making 75 appearances for the club, James Ward-Prowse officially returns to Southampton for a fee of £1,000,000.

West Ham United will take part in the Carabao Cup Round 3 draw tonight after defeating Southampton 4-1 in their biggest Carabao Cup away victory since 1967.

Taking part in Round 3 means the Hammers are amongst the remaining 32 teams in the tournament, with the European Teams from the Premier League now also being entered.

The draw for Round 3 will take place after the Preston vs Everton match is concluded. However, a pre-draw for the European sides entering the competition has already been completed, which determines where their tie will be played.

West Ham United signed El-Hadji Malick Diouf last summer for £19m plus add-ons, which weren’t achieved throughout that season. Malick Diouf was bought by Graham Potter as he was deemed to be a perfect fit for a ‘Potter System’.

Diouf was a player who struggled to find consistent form and ultimately weaved in and out of having good performances. Despite going away for the World Cup and coming back to the squad during pre-season and showing that he wanted to play for the club, it seems that his head has turned and he has ultimately decided that he wants to move on from West Ham.
