Thursday 25 June 2026 – Follow the latest West Ham United transfer news, rumours and confirmed moves throughout the day. Newest updates appear first, with reports clearly labelled where deals are not yet agreed.
11:55 BST – Fernandes race intensifies as rival reports emerge
Mateus Fernandes remains the major West Ham transfer story of the morning. The Standard reports that Manchester United have agreed personal terms with the midfielder, but other reports continue to point to Tottenham pushing hard and being prepared to compete financially for a deal near West Ham’s valuation.
The key point for Hammers fans: there is still no confirmed club-to-club agreement. Until West Ham accept a bid, this remains a developing race rather than a completed exit. With figures around £75m-£80m being reported, the structure of any offer could matter as much as the headline fee.
11:35 BST – Summerville and Bowen interest adds to rebuild pressure
The Guardian’s latest transfer update also keeps Crysencio Summerville and Jarrod Bowen in the wider conversation, claiming Tottenham are among the clubs considering Summerville while Chelsea and Manchester United are tracking him. The same report says Aston Villa, Chelsea and Everton have shown interest in Bowen, with West Ham keen to keep their captain.
That makes this a delicate window for the club. One major sale could fund a reset, but losing several first-team attackers would leave Nuno Espirito Santo needing quick replacements before the Championship campaign gathers pace.
11:10 BST – Confirmed West Ham business so far
On the confirmed side, West Ham have already completed Keiber Lamadrid’s permanent transfer from Deportivo La Guaira after exercising their option, while the club have also signed young forward Jett Murphy from Chelmsford City.
Neither move changes the senior rebuild on its own, but they are the official pieces of business on the board while the bigger Fernandes, Summerville and Bowen stories continue to develop.
