Last night, reports were made that the Hammers would be signing a free agent, and it was believed to be a defender - many came to the conclusion that the individual in question was a former Brighton player, yet that didn’t quite narrow it down.

Brighton have three former players available on a free: Adam Webster, Solly March and Joël Veltman. The Hammers have opted for the third name, the 34-year-old Dutchman who can play centrally and also on the right.

West Ham’s ownership conundrum takes another twist! Daniel Kretinsky this morning has announced that he has sold 2.2% of his stake to fellow Czech billionaire Jakub Havrlant, as he is set to buy the Gold family’s stake in full without surpassing the 50% rule, meaning he wouldn’t trigger the shareholders’ agreement clause, which was formed in 2021 and would’ve forced him to buy Sullivan’s 38.8% stake at an inflated price.

West Ham United have been seeking a replacement for Crysencio Summerville, who recently departed to Al-Hilal for an astonishing £55,000,000. Despite the funds amassed, the Hammers are taking their time to decide which left-sided winger they would like to pursue and aren’t letting themselves be dragged in and pay a fortune.

Two backup winger targets the Hammers have laid eyes on are Arsenal’s Reiss Nelson and Sunderland’s Simon Adingra. These wingers will be the alternatives to our primary and controversial target, Manor Solomon from Tottenham Hotspur.
