The likes of Real Betis and Sevilla have submitted offers for the experienced centre-back as well. According to reports via Area Napoli, the defender is still undecided on his future and he is hoping that Napoli will come forward with a contract offer for him. The Hammers need to add more defensive depth to their side and signing the 29-year-old on a free transfer would be a superb move for them. They certainly have the resources to fend off the competition from the likes of Crystal Palace, Real Betis and Sevilla. Furthermore, the London club will be able to offer him Europa League football as well. The chance to move to the Premier League coul...

West Ham star responds in five words to Leeds player’s IG post after Euro win

England end a 55-year wait for a knockout tie victory over Germany after winning 2-0 on Tuesday afternoon at Wembley. Gareth Southgate’s side earned a memorable victory with Raheem Sterling and skipper Harry Kane scoring for the home side to put them through to the quarter finals.

According to A Bola, the Portuguese outfit are prepared to sell the player for a price of around €15 million (£12.8m).

Cabral is quite young and he’s likely to improve with experience. The Cape Verde international could prove to be a bargain in the long run. Leeds could definitely use more depth in the wide areas and it seems that Marcelo Bielsa is looking to bring in a winger this s...

West Ham United and Leeds United are set to miss out on Romain Perraud. According to The Athletic, both Premier League clubs had been chasing the 23-year-old this summer. Newcastle United were also in the hunt for his signature, but Southampton are now closing in on the signing of the Stade Brest defender. The deal is at an advanced stage, and the only way the move will fall through is if the player’s medical is unsatisfactory or if another club makes a late attempt to sign him. Ralph Hasenhuttl has met with the left-back, and it is understood that Perraud has made it clear that he wants to join the Saints. Leeds are looking to sign a new left-back, with Ezgjan Alioski’s future in doubt. He is a free agent this summer and is yet to pen a new deal at the club. The Hammers are...

West Ham handed big boost in signing £22.5m star with 159 Premier League appearances

West Ham United have been handed a boost in signing Burnley defender James Tarkowski this summer, Football Insider reports. The England international was on the radar of the Hammers last summer, but the Clarets refused to sanction his sale. The Hammers were willing to pay up to £30 million for the centre-back, but the Clarets were firm on their £50m valuation. Tarkowski has since turned down an extension with Sean Dyche’s side, and he could be sold for a knockdown price this summer. With just 12 months left on his contract, the Clarets are open to selling him. The Hammers could renew their interest in his services. Sportslens view: West Ham failed to land a high-profile centre-back last summer, and they ended up signing Craig Dawson on loan from Watford. The 31-year-old proved a ...

The 19-year-old winger – who is equally adept playing in a more central role – has penned a two-year contract with the Club, with the option to extend this for an additional year.

The 23-year-old has been with the Serie A outfit since 2016 and has established himself as the first-choice goalkeeper over the past couple of seasons. He still has two years left on his contract, but reports claim that Fiorentina would be willing to sell him for a fee of around €15 million this summer. The Hammers are interested in landing his services, but they could be rivalled by Spurs with a ‘whisper of interest’ from sporting director Fabio Paratici.

Report suggests West Ham have made a move for 25-yr-old South American

West Ham United have reportedly made a move to sign Argentine forward Giovanni Simeone. According to Tuttomercatoweb, the attacker’s future at Cagliari is in doubt and Torino, Sampdoria, Bologna, Marseille and West Ham are keen on signing him. The Hammers are yet to make an official bid, but they have made their interest known to Simeone’s club. David Moyes needs to improve his attacking options this summer, and Simeone may prove to be a decent addition. The Premier League outfit need a natural goalscorer, but the Argentine is more of a creative forward. The 25-year-old bagged just six goals and two assists in Serie A last term, and the Hammers really need a more prolific forward. That said, Simeone is an international with Argentina who still has room for improvement and could be a useful...

The 23-year-old has been linked with a move to the London club for a while now, and Sky Italia are reporting that they are set to step up their interest. The Hammers are yet to make a formal offer, but Fiorentina could sanction the Serbian’s departure for the right price the summer. SL View: Much needed defensive signing for the Hammers West Ham need to strengthen their defensive unit, and Milenkovic is regarded as one of the most talented defenders in Serie A. Issa Diop, Angelo Ogbonna and Craig Dawson are their current centre-back options, and Milenkovic would be an upgrade on that trio.
