The latest transfer rumours surrounding West Ham United include a potential move for Strasbourg winger Martial Godo. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 8 possible arrivals and 5 potential exits. The items below represent the latest news on the most important transfer stories, with the hottest storyline currently revolving around Emmanuel Fernandez.
Jarrod Bowen: Chelsea Interest
According to a Wednesday report from Football Insider, Chelsea have joined Liverpool in pursuing West Ham United's Jarrod Bowen and he is on the club's shortlist for new attacking options. Chelsea's interest in the 29-year-old is because they are looking for a proven Premier League player, which is a shift from their recent strategy. Any potential deal is expected to be expensive and complicated as Bowen is West Ham's club captain and key player on a long-term contract.
Martial Godo
West Ham is interested in the profile of Strasbourg's 23-year-old Ivorian winger Martial Godo, who is also reportedly a target for fellow Premier League club Crystal Palace, as of Wednesday. Turkish club Beşiktaş is also targeting Godo but is aware that the deal will be complicated due to competition. Chelsea, which shares the same owner as Strasbourg, could potentially use its situation to its advantage in recruiting the player, whose contract runs until 2030. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value at €18.00m.
Ibrahim Mbaye
On Sunday, it was reported that West Ham United is among several English clubs monitoring Ibrahim Mbaye, whose future at Paris Saint-Germain is described as increasingly uncertain. The 18-year-old winger has had limited playing time under Luis Enrique and his contract is valid until June 30, 2028. Aston Villa, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Newcastle United are also attentive to the situation for the player, who is valued at approximately 30 million euros.
Emmanuel Fernandez
West Ham United are linked with Emmanuel Fernandez and could make an approach, according to a Monday report. Rangers will reportedly demand a minimum of £25m for Fernandez, while some sources suggest the valuation could be as high as £35m. Peterborough United has a sell-on clause related to any potential transfer. While Fernandez has spoken positively about his time at Rangers, the club's model is to accept a bid that meets their expectations. Manager Danny Rohl hopes to keep Fernandez but acknowledges the difficulty of resisting substantial bids. This follows a report from Saturday that Rangers are set to demand at least £20million for him this summer.
Axel Disasi
According to a Tuesday update, it is understood that West Ham United want to finalise a transfer for Axel Disasi if they avoid relegation. Even if West Ham are relegated, Disasi is almost guaranteed to be sold by Chelsea this summer. On Sunday, The Athletic reported that Axel Disasi is willing to join West Ham United permanently this summer if the club can avoid relegation from the Premier League.
Jarrod Bowen: Newcastle Interest
West Ham's Jarrod Bowen is a potential target for Newcastle, according to a report on Tuesday. A potential transfer would likely be contingent on West Ham's league status. The club previously valued Bowen at £100m to deter interest, but the financial consequences of relegation could cause a reassessment and a significantly reduced asking price might create an opportunity for Newcastle.
Jarrod Bowen: Liverpool Interest
According to TEAMtalk on Thursday, Liverpool have shortlisted West Ham United attacker Jarrod Bowen as one of the options ahead of the transfer window. The club’s recruitment team has focused on Bowen to help address Mohamed Salah leaving the club at the end of the season. The report adds that Bowen could be available at a significant discount if West Ham are relegated.
