West Ham are being linked with a move for Watford winger Nestory Irankunda, a 20-year-old attacker, in the current transfer window as the club seeks reinforcements following their relegation to the Championship. Irankunda, who is currently at the World Cup with Australia, is under contract at Vicarage Road until June 2030, but Watford could find it difficult to retain him after the tournament. The Australian international, who has 16 caps and 6 goals for his country, joined Watford in July 2025 and contributed 4 goals and 5 assists in 40 Championship appearances last season. His current Transfermarkt market value is €8.00m. Villarreal, Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Fiorentina, and Everton have also been linked with the player.
