West Ham United are in the news with a fresh approach for a new winger. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 8 possible arrivals and 8 potential exits. The items below represent the latest news on the most important transfer rumours surrounding the club. The hottest storyline right now is about Josh Mulligan.
Harry Wilson
On Monday, it was reported that West Ham have made an approach for Fulham's Welsh international winger Harry Wilson. The 29-year-old is set to become a free agent when his contract expires at the end of June. West Ham are one of several Premier League sides interested, with Aston Villa, Leeds United, Everton, and Tottenham Hotspur also having made approaches. There is additional interest from overseas clubs, including Fenerbahce and teams in Ligue 1. During the 2025/2026 Premier League season, Wilson scored 10 goals and recorded 7 assists in 36 appearances.
Mateus Fernandes
Manchester United are working on signing Mateus Fernandes, according to reports on Monday. United insider Sully (UtdDistrict) stated that Fernandes wants the move. The BBC’s Simon Stone reported an immediate disagreement over the fee West Ham are demanding versus what United expect to pay. Sully stated that while it is true West Ham are demanding £80m, United would not pay that amount and a deal could be done for less. Sully also noted that Fernandes personally prefers a move to Manchester United, but this preference would not be made public to avoid weakening Jorge Mendes' negotiating position.
Callum Wilson
Hull City could offer Callum Wilson a return to the Premier League following his relegation with West Ham, it was reported on Monday. Wilson is set to become a free agent as the short-term contract he signed with the club is expiring. According to Hull Live, Hull are monitoring the striker, who would be available without a fee as West Ham have not agreed to a new deal.
Sydie Peck
According to The Sheffield Star on Friday, West Ham United have been interested in Sydie Peck since January. The report adds that the club would have sufficient funds to put forward an attractive bid for the player should they sell Mateus Fernandes as anticipated this summer.
Mohamadou Kanté
Fiorentina's Fabio Paratici is targeting West Ham's Mohamadou Kanté, as of Monday. Kanté, a midfielder with both French and Senegalese passports, recently finished a season in which he made 32 appearances and scored 5 goals. It is said that Paratici considers the 2005-born player a modern midfielder with an athletic build. Kanté's contract with West Ham is valid until 2031, and reports in June 2026 value him between £15m and £20m.
Dylan Lawlor
Amid West Ham United's interest in Cardiff City's Dylan Lawlor, Cardiff chairman Mehmet Dalman insisted on Friday that the club has no intention of selling the player this summer. Dalman stated that there is "zero intention" of selling any player. However, he also acknowledged the club would not ignore interest entirely and would engage if approaches were made, stressing that decisions would ultimately be guided by head coach Brian Barry-Murphy.
Taylor Harwood-Bellis
According to talkSPORT on Tuesday, Taylor Harwood-Bellis is still admired by chiefs at the London Stadium as the Irons prepare for their first spell as a Championship side in 14 years. It has been claimed that the Hammers' financial situation means they are expected to have to generate more than £100m. Mateus Fernandes is likely to generate the majority of those funds before any significant new players are considered. Given Harwood-Bellis's cost to Southampton and his current worth, it seems unlikely that the Hampshire outfit would deem any bids lower than £20m acceptable.
