According to the Mail, Troyes midfielder Martin Adeline could be one of Nils Koppen's first two signings. The attacking midfielder scored 11 goals and supplied 13 assists in 36 appearances across all competitions. Transfermarkt values Adeline at £8.5m, and this amount is 10 per cent of what the capital club received for Mateus Fernandes' move to Tottenham.

Football League World has identified Martin Adeline as a potential successor to Fernandes. Claret & Hugh’s latest transfer round-up also indicates that the Frenchman could move quickly once the money from a Fernandes transfer is received. Central (@WestHam_Central) reported that Adeline is a potential replacement for Mateus Fernandes and that Fernandes will remain a top target despite Nils Koppen’s arrival. The report from Central also noted that there is competition from RC Lens and FC Lorient, and that a move is expected once the Fernandes money arrives.

West Ham are interested in signing Troyes midfielder Martin Adeline as they prepare for the Championship following their relegation. The 22-year-old Frenchman, who joined Troyes in August 2024, recently helped his club achieve promotion from Ligue 2, and Troyes now face a significant challenge to keep him amidst attention from elsewhere. Adeline, a France youth international who previously had spells at PSG and Stade de Reims, is under contract until 2027. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €10.00m.
