Our first pre-season game of the 2025/26 season against Zurich ended in a 3-1 victory for the Hammers, the goals coming through Andy Irving, Callum Marshall and Lucas Paqueta.

However, if you could look past the awful commentary alongside the utterly abysmal camera quality, you would've been able to see a rather intriguing game which showed improvements but also patterns that haven't changed whatsoever.

The Besiktas twist began around the early afternoon yesterday when it was shockingly announced that Kyle Walker-Peters' transfer to Turkey had suddenly been called off after a change of heart by Walker-Peters himself, and subsequently, Besiktas had to announce on their social media that he was not going to sign despite the deal being almost done.

After confirming Malick Diouf as our first signing this window, West Ham now pay all their attention to the midfield as they aim to sign a midfielder. Whilst we’re looking for a defence and an attacking midfielder, both options are being considered, but at the forefront of that interest is Tyler Morton.

Liverpool’s Tyler Morton is valued at £16,000,00, but they aren’t expected to be strict on that asking price as they’re trying to raise funds for Isak from Newcastle.

Graham Potter and Kyle Macaulay have started movin' and somehow got Sully grooving, after the negative of negative updates, it seems to have now ramped up to a degree where we've officially had a bid accepted at last for El Hadji Malick Diouf and he's officially waved goodbye to Slavia Prauge and said hello to the Hammers.

Whilst the deal has yet to be announced officially, he has officially completed his medical and is expected to be announced either today or tomorrow.

Over the past couple of days, if any of your attention has gone towards the media, all you would’ve seen are rumours upon rumours and supposedly lame offers being put in for players.

Unfortunately, the majority of these are true, and the fact of the matter is that West Ham haven’t been able to make any concrete offers as of yet, and we’re even getting to the level where we’re starting to annoy club presidents.

Yesterday, the departure of Mohammed Kudus was officially completed to Spurs, and it’s fair to say that the media was having a field day with it all.

The confirmed transfer fee is £54,500,000 however the add ons are currently unknown, the deal will be paid across 3 years, however, it’s confirmed that £5,450,000 of that transfer fee will go to Ajax due to a 10% Sell on clause, but the remainder of the money all will go to Potter & Macaulay this window.

The latest West Ham saga seems to be coming to a close finally. It appears increasingly likely that Kudus will leave West Ham to join Spurs for the upcoming season, with a total transfer fee of £55,000,000, which is expected to be paid across three windows.

The entirety of the transfer fee is expected to go towards Potter & Macaulay in an attempt to build the squad for next season and get some players in to ensure that we can actually stay up.

West Ham central defender Nayef Aguerd was once seen as a brilliant signing for the club, a defender who could play with the ball at his feet, find the pass and was fast, a manager's dream in most cases. However, this case proved to be a 'nightmare' for West Ham, and a falling out with David Moyes and Julien Lopetegui seemed to indicate that the Moroccan international would never return to West Ham.

The 29-year-old was loaned out to Real Sociedad, and after a successful spell in Spain, he returned to West Ham officially only on 30th June.

At the end of the 2024/25 Premier League season, there was a lot of talk about signings, coaching staff, and players leaving. Since time has now passed, the club have decided not to renew Lukasz Fabianski's contract, as well as release Xavi Valero as a goalkeeper coach to replace him with two others. The first of which being confirmed as Linus Kandolin, the 34-year-old has been poached from IF Elfsborg, where he'd spent over half a decade and before that worked with Graham Potter previously at Ostersunds FK for three years.

Action and movement in the window has finally arrived, two names have finally been revealed, after a lot of fake ones, with the Hammers now interested in Charlie Cresswell and El Hadji Malick Diouf.

The Englishman who’s currently playing for Toulouse has been valued at £18,000,000 and is a player that Graham Potter & his team highly admire. Due to struggles with French finances, it is a real possibility that a deal could be completed for around the £15- £18 million mark.
