West Ham Rumours Mobile

15 Jun 2026 12:17:20
WH have gone cold Wether temporary or permanent, on Dael Fry, of Boro. And Callum Osman from Celtic.

The suspicion is Kretinsky, is trying to keep hold of as many of the previous team as possible, with three or four exceptions, if this can be done.

Obviously it puts a different light on the transfer situation, whereby perhaps only about five, six players may be required, not the fourteen or fifteen! Previously talked about.



The word is, that although the players wages are halved from July 1st, if WH are promoted, in the first season, Bonuses will be paid out, to put the player’s salary not far short of previous premier wages.


This, if true, is going to change a lot of players minds about leaving the club.

15 Jun 2026 18:01:38
Wow, won't it just be, and to be honest, a clever strategy. If only Sullivan and Co could have thought this up.

I can still see the likes of Fulkrug, Cornet, Tobido, Alvarez, Awb, Areola, Mav and Fab leaving.

Only thing is, what happens if we don't get promoted?

15 Jun 2026 08:48:37
Summerville has attracted the attention of PSG. They may be willing to pay 45/50 m euros for him.

Traore is in talks with old club Wolves.

Kretinsky is in no panic whatsoever to sell players.

He meets with Nuno tomorrow to discuss who can be realistically kept or not. He will try to limit departures if possible, certainly not for the silly low fees of the past. Let’s see how this turns out.

15 Jun 2026 09:37:06
I don't think Troare is amazing, but I think he'd do ok in the Championship, and, weirdly, I think forgotten man Cornet would net a few goals in the Championship.

15 Jun 2026 10:25:48
Perma injury prone Cornet has a contract paid in dollars, equivalent to £48.5 k a week, with one season left on the contract. With this man, it's not a question of his ability, which would in theory be fine in the Championship, it's a question of if he actually wants to play football or not.

Genoa can pay the £25 k a week he will earn at WH from July 1st, but they are reluctant to take him back, and that has got to tell you something about his attitude. Can Nuno change this? Otherwise, if a club comes along showing interest, we need to let him go, full stop. And move on.

14 Jun 2026 16:48:52
Fulkrug, Werder Bremen. Agent in London tomorrow, trying to work. Deal.

WH on the one hand, are happy to rip up his contract, which has two years left to run.

Take a small fee only and say goodbye, as others in the squad. Fulkrug's wages will halve come July 1st.



Bremen want a free transfer! It’s a big write down, but honestly. What on earth do WH want him for, let him go, save 5 m in wages, better spent elsewhere.


Bremen want to pay him 30 k a week, so the player is looking for payoff, not much chance of that happening

14 Jun 2026 17:52:03
I think we need to cut our losses with him, Cornet, Alvarez and Tobido. Bad characters to have in the dressing room.

A little concerned. Pre-season starts 01st July, and, coupled with this, there is a World Cup ongoing, making transfers in and out more tricky, and we are still sorting out back office, with no player moves in any direction yet!!

I'm not impatient, but the clock is ticking, and I guarantee Nuno will want to have at his disposal players who will be forming our squad.

14 Jun 2026 12:19:37
Might be me but things around the club seem to have a different feel to it already?

14 Jun 2026 13:18:19
Everything seems to be moving in the right direction. That doesn't mean we will be great come the start of the season. But you can rarely properly renovate a house unless you eradicate the rot and decay first.

13 Jun 2026 17:51:47
Lucas Herrington young CB Colorado Rapids, being given the once over.

14 Jun 2026 12:17:54
Ethan Galbraith and Dom Ballard high on the agenda with Dan Neil apparently.

13 Jun 2026 14:35:03
Capital Water. Is almost certain to be new shirt sponsor for next season, close to agreement.

13 Jun 2026 12:05:32
Kante! Both Monaco and Marseille are making themselves busy. Both offered loans to buy, which were turned away. WH have told both clubs no offers less than £15 m plus addons, don’t bother with offers less than that.



Some names WH are keen on, in addition to those already known.

Ryan Alebioso FB Blackburn
Ben Whitcomb Cb Stoke
Ethan Galbraith, Cm Swansea
Nelson Deossa CM Betis
Bobby Clark Cm RB Saltzburg
Bailey Rice Dm Rangers

14 Jun 2026 11:27:57
Who is keen on them? As it stands, the head of recruitment has left and we are supposedly bringing in a DoF, so surely he will have his own ideas and visions?

14 Jun 2026 16:36:28
Scouts to Nuno.

13 Jun 2026 11:53:28
See that Kretinsky and the Golds with Smith are voting together. Sullivan's done.

Obviously he keeps his shares for now, but has no say in any matters whatsoever. Hooray!

13 Jun 2026 15:58:13.
Officially announced. Kretins now the manor shareholder, having bought Vanessa Golds' shares. He now has 43%.

13 Jun 2026 11:35:52
Kretinsky must do some kind of a deal with the Gold family, to make himself the majority shareholder, otherwise, running the club, as he is now doing is pointless.
Tin Legs, you make a decent point, in regard to the original lease, regarding the character of persons known to have controlling interests; however, as most of the material on Panorama was very dated, don’t think much will come of that.

Sullivan's time at West Ham is done, there’s no comebacks, ridiculous statement, him saying, he’s wanted back? By whom exactly, fantasy island stuff.




No question, Kretinsky. Would welcome a third party in, so he doesn’t have to buy Sullivan's shareholdings. We will have to wait and see.


The club's realistic value now is between 550 m / 600 m depending which way you look at it, long time back, Vanessa Gold was offered 150 m by an American hedge fund for her shares, which I posted on here, that looks to be spot on, she refused, that values Sullivan's shares at about 240 m not the crazy 500 m he’s talking about, so we shall see how events unfold

11 Jun 2026 14:23:58
I hope Joyful can throw a bit more light on this, but judging by all reports, Daniel Krezynski is determined to purchase Sullivan's shares in the club and then have proper footballing directors in place to run the various day to day activities of the club

This sounds too good to be true but exactly what we've all been hoping for.

11 Jun 2026 16:09:36
I've read he also wants to buy the stadium.

11 Jun 2026 18:25:52
He's apparently in talks with Vanessa Gold for her shares.

12 Jun 2026 01:03:07
Our big problem now is if WHU are deemed to be in breach of the conditions of our lease on the London Stadium as a result of restrictions placed on Sullivan's prohibited access to women and minors. If so, the lease could be terminated and the club would be homeless.

12 Jun 2026 01:16:45
I think these days, imo, he will be forced by other board members to sell to DK, probably within a day, because he is now so toxic to be associated with. We've all known it for years, but there is now more legitimacy to it.

08 Jun 2026 12:56:14
Fiorentina, make approach for Kante, WH are unsure about letting him go. Especially for a cheap price

He is seen as ideal for the championship by Nuno, after maybe a successful season, WH can reassess the position. ….. Joyfull

08 Jun 2026 13:41:56
We've got to keep him - there is a v good player in there.

08 Jun 2026 18:21:15
Gotta keep hold of young players with potential like Kante. Fiorentina must see something good, so keep hold of him.

08 Jun 2026 21:10:22
I think it depends on what they can get for him. If it's 15mil, then he will be sold - which is fine if we can find another rough gem.

08 Jun 2026 21:52:42
I think it would be best to keep him and let him know he is to be a pivotal part of the team. We've seen too many decent young players not realise their potential with us, but go on to bigger and better things. We sold Diangana for about 18 million years ago, and he wasn't that good.

09 Jun 2026 08:18:19
Personally I don't see what most are seeing in Kante. Whenever he came on in Prem, he didn't exactly set it on fire. Also, everyone says we need to copy Brighton/Bournemouth model, well surely this is it? Turning a massive profit on someone who has barely played would be good imo.

11 Jun 2026 05:37:39
Hi Chris, we cannot sell players like Kante. I don't know what games you were watching, but it's very difficult to impress in 10 mins here and there. Before he made it into the 1st team, go and watch his performance in the 21s against Liverpool, he was unplayable. People are too quick to judge players on a few minutes, and Soucek starts every game and his legs have gone cos he scores a goal every 8-9 games.

He's only in the team cos he's a big lump and that's it. He's decent in both boxes, but that's it. We've got players like Fearon, Kante, Orford etc etc that are better than Soucek imo. ⚒️⚒️⚒️

11 Jun 2026 05:46:18
At the rate we are going, we will need to hold on to as many as possible.

Very disappointing that we still have no head of recruitment or director of football.

Sullivan has gone, but it all still feels very "Sullivan esq". Lots of rumours, but not much happening, especially around Fry and Webster!!

11 Jun 2026 07:52:47
@Whorya, I was watching the same games, mate.... The ones he had 10mins here or there, and I didn't see much. I have also watched the U21s games, and yes he stands out because of his physique - he doesn't then have that advantage v men. I get your point, hard to impress in those few minutes, but also, in my opinion, it doesn't make him a must keep.

If a massive profit can be made on him, then I don't think it's something to straight away turn down and must be considered. I would prefer to see Fearon given minutes if I am honest anyway.

11 Jun 2026 07:56:27
I think until they solve the director of football issue, it will be slow. Also, throw in a World Cup, which has always made the transfer windows drag anyway. I think it could very much be a 1 out 1 in kinda summer, which is very frustrating, and it means we will kick off in 9 weeks without having the full squad.

Changes will happen during August again after a few games, leaving it too late and giving new players no pre season with us.
Think we will start the league campaign struggling if im honest unless individual moments can win us games (if we keep Bowen etc).

12 Jun 2026 22:47:58
Chris I wasn't saying his physique was anything to do with him having an advantage in the 21s, the last game he came on he was very good and if you've watched the 21s then how can you say that he should be sold, so sell him and keep soucek is that what your saying you obviously don't understand football i'm sorry to be blunt we CANNOT be selling players like KANTE for £15 million we shouldn't sell him full stop you clearly didn't read what I said it is extremely difficult to impress in cameo minutes players that are dead wood should be sold i.e SOUCEK, DIOUF, PABLO etc ⚒️⚒️⚒️

08 Jun 2026 11:43:17
Bowen! All WH players have relegation clauses in their contracts since 2019

This is without exception. If WH want to keeo certain players, and pay them more than the 50% wage deduction, which is automatic.



Then it’s a different matter, that is a negotiation, nothing to do with original contract.

No members of WH squad have get out clauses, exemptions or anything like that, it’s media nonsense.

08 Jun 2026 18:33:40
I agree Clareandblueman, we should pay more to keep players like Bowen.

08 Jun 2026 11:08:10
Sullivan obviously has already seen tonight’s programme.

He has apparently engaged, the same KC he used in the Paqueta case and another that specialises in libel and defamation cases, Two KCs, Hmmm?

He intends to sue for millions. BBC best make sure they have their facts right

11 Jun 2026 05:39:21
He's had that show cancelled twice, but couldn't succeed this time. He's a monster. ⚒️⚒️⚒️

08 Jun 2026 10:39:28
PSG. Have at last come in for Fernandes.

But, however, to the astonishment of WH, the player doesn’t want to go there!

He prefers Man Utd, which can make a problem. MU are presently stuck on £60 m inc add ons.

WH have turned it away, and are sticking to larger valuation. A big bid from someone else is needed to move this on.

08 Jun 2026 07:48:30
The news seems to be getting even better as it seems Sullivans' kids don’t want to play any role in West Ham and Sullivan will be selling his shares. If this is the case, I suppose DK buys them. Some of us have been critical of him for not actually helping West Ham financially in the past.

But I would be much more happy knowing the Sullivan dynasty no longer have anything to do with West Ham. At least DK will try and run the club in the proper modern way in which most teams in the upper echelons do. Rome wasn’t built in a day but if true this is great.

11 Jun 2026 05:42:38
KRETINSKY said he wouldn't put no money in while SULLIVAN was majority shareholder he's a very quiet man we've basically not heard a peep out of him in 2 years but he's a very powerful man hopefully he buys the predator out otherwise amanda shelvey is very interested how true is this please Ed?? ⚒️⚒️⚒️

{Ed001's Note - Staveley has been interested in a while, but she stepped away after finding out about the programme. She didn't want the issues for her clients which may stem from it as Sullivan would not sell up completely then. Knowing her, she will be back now to step up in with an offer to buy him out. She wanted a full buyout of his shareholding from the start, as her and her clients want a majority shareholding.}
