According to a report from Sports Boom, West Ham is one of the teams showing an interest in signing Bournemouth defender Max Aarons, who spent the 2025-2026 campaign on loan at Rangers in Scotland. Max Aarons is set to return to Bournemouth in the summer transfer window following his loan spell, after he struggled to play consistently for Rangers. A return to England is a possibility, whether that's staying with Bournemouth or a move to another club, as West Ham are considering a potential deal. Bournemouth are not in a desperate position to sell, considering Max Aarons is under contract for another three years, but he is considered surplus to requirements.
