West Ham United have made a fresh approach to sign Burnley defender James Tarkowski, Football Insider reports. The Hammers were eager to land the England international last summer, but their highest bid of £30 million was rejected by the Clarets.

West Ham linked with a move for 24-yr-old, La Liga outfit prepared to sell the player
West Ham United have been linked with a move for Barcelona left-back Junior Firpo. According to Calciomercato, AC Milan are also keen on signing the young defender. Firpo has struggled to hold down a regular starting berth at the Spanish club and needs to leave to play regularly.

Furthermore, the London club will be playing Europa League football next season, and they need more depth in their squad. Barcelona are prepared to cash in on the 24-year-old as they are under financial pressure. Firpo played just seven games in the Spanish league this past season, and he will be ke...

The Foxes have some talented defenders in their squad but need to find a long term replacement for Jonny Evans. West Ham are also searching for defensive reinforcements as they prepare to compete in next season’s Europa League. The Hammers narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification last term a...

According to reports from Voetbalzone, Leicester City are considering making a move for Bournemouth winger Arnaut Danjuma during the transfer window.

The attacking midfielder was valued at around €15 million at the start of the campaign but he could be signed for less this summer. The Hammers could certainly use more creativity in the midfield and the 28-year-old could prove to be a smart addition. Vanaken will ...

The England international had a superb loan stint with the Hammers during the second half of the season, registering nine goals and five assists from 16 games. His efforts helped the club qualify for the Europa League group stage for the first-time ever, but he still did not make the cut for the Euro 2020 squad.

Sassuolo midfielder Filip Duricic is a target for Southampton and West Ham United this summer. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Italian club have already received offers for the 29-year-old.

He joined the Clarets from Leeds United in 2017 and has since established himself as a solid Premier League performer. According to Mirror, Villa manager Dean Smith believes that the 29-year-old would be the ideal option alongside Ollie Watkins next season.

Meanwhile, the Hammers need to improve their attacking options, and Wood would be a quality alternative to Michail Antonio. Everton are also keeping tabs on his situation, but they are waiting to finalise their managerial appointment before following up their interest in Wood. The player will cost more tha...

West Ham can’t afford to carry passengers, Chelsea man has too much to prove
The news that West Ham United are interested in signing Ross Barkley probably sent a shudder down the spine of their fanbase. The 27-year-old spent last season on loan at Aston Villa, but he struggled to make much impact with the Midlands outfit. Barkley appears to be surplus to requirements at Chelsea, and they are expected to try and move him on permanently this summer. SL View David Moyes has got most of his transfer business right at West Ham, but signing Barkley would be a massive risk. He was once rated as one of England’s brightest prospects when he came through at Everton, but things have gone downhill over the past few years. Barkley has done little of note with Chelsea, and it was no surprise when they farmed him out to Villa last summer. He is increasingly looking like a player ...
