West Ham United, who were recently relegated to the Championship and are rebuilding their squad, are reportedly considering a move for Sunderland's Eliezer Mayenda. The 21-year-old Spanish-French forward joined Sunderland in July 2023. It is said that he is unhappy with his amount of playing time on Wearside, having made 23 appearances and scored two goals this season after being an important player in Sunderland's promotion the previous season. The Sunderland Echo has revealed that Mayenda would prefer to leave to find regular first-team football. As Sunderland prepares for another Premier League campaign and European football, they may not be able to offer him the starting striker role he wants, because Brian Brobbey has become their main number nine. Sources close to the situation state that Mayenda's preference is based on seeking an opportunity rather than any issue with the club, as he loves Sunderland and is grateful for the fans' support. Reports claim several clubs in top European leagues are interested in the Spain U21 international, for whom he has 9 caps and 2 goals. Sunderland's policy is not to prevent players from leaving if they want to move for their career's benefit. Mayenda's contract runs until 2030, and he would require a significant transfer fee, with a current Transfermarkt market value of €18.00m, but West Ham might be able to complete the signing if no other offers are made.
