Report: Newcastle could submit bid for 26-yr-old West Ham target tomorrow
Juventus defender Daniele Rugani has been linked with a move away from the club this summer and it seems that Newcastle United could make their move for the 26-year-old soon. As per Alfredo Pedulla, West Ham and Newcastle are keen on the defender and Newcastle could submit a bid for the player tomorrow. It is evident that Newcastle need to add more defensive depth and Rugani could prove to be a quality addition. The Italian is highly talented but he needs to play more often in order to improve and fulfil his potential. A move to Newcastle or West Ham could be ideal for the defender this summer. It will be interesting to see if Juventus can agree on a deal with his suitors in the remaining days of the transfer window. Valencia are keen on signing the defender on loan but it seems that the I...
Report: Fulham keen on £150k-a-wk Hammers target but there is a catch
According to The Daily Telegraph, Fulham are interested in signing Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek on a season-long loan, but any move may depend on whether or not they can sign defenders on permanent deals. Blues boss Frank Lampard is open to letting him leave temporarily before the transfer window shuts, but his options may be limited. West Ham United are also keen on the England international, and are among a number of clubs that have shown a strong interest, but they have been scared by his £150,000-a-week wages and injury record. While Lampard has insisted that Loftus-Cheek is as “fit as a fiddle”, the Hammers have reservations. The 24-year-old needs to play regularly this term to have a chance of forcing his way into manager Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions squad ahead of next su...
Report: West Ham United make £22.8m bid for versatile Serie A defender
West Ham United have made a bid to land the signature of Nikola Milenkovic from Fiorentina, Gianluca di Marzio reports. The Hammers have experienced a disappointing summer transfer window and they have yet to make any new additions to the first-team squad. Earlier this month, they were eager to sign James Tarkowski from Burnley to strengthen the central defensive position, but their final offer of £30m was snubbed by the Clarets. The east London outfit thereafter looked at the possibility of signing Wesley Fofana from Saint-Etienne, but they have missed out on his services to Leicester City. The club are still on the search for a new player to bolster the heart of their backline and it is now reported that they have made a formal bid for Milenkovic. David Moyes’ have placed a&nbs...
Report: Chelsea prepared to launch £40m bid for 21-year-old defender before transfer deadline
With the summer transfer window in its final week, the Blues boss is leaving no stone unturned in addressing his problems in defence. With seven additions to the team, including three defenders, Chelsea seems to already have a perfect transfer window, but it appears the London club still need a final piece of the puzzle to guarantee perfection. Following defensive errors from Marcos Alonso and Thiago Silva which led to three goals, the Blues left themselves a mountain to climb as they needed to fight back from 3-0 down at West Brom. Although Lampard had recently added Ben Chilwell and Thiago Silva to his defense line, the Blues manager who has been a longtime admirer of Rice doesn’t seem satisfied with his defensive lineup and is keen on adding the Englishman to his optio...
Report: West Ham hoping to sign £100k-per-week star after failing to land Arsenal player
West Ham United are looking to bolster their defence this summer, and the Hammers have now earmarked Antonio Rudiger as a potential option. According to reports from The Sun, the Hammers are hoping to sign the Chelsea defender on loan this summer. The 27-year-old, who can play as a centre-back or as a right-back, is yet to start a game in the Premier League this season, and Chelsea could look to offload him. David Moyes is desperate to bolster his defence this summer. The Hammers made three attempts to sign James Tarkowski from Burnley, but they failed to meet the valuation set by the Clarets. The report claims that West Ham also made an attempt to sign Rob Holding from Arsenal and Chris Smalling from Manchester United on loans, but they failed in their attempt to lure them to the London S...
15 goals last season: West Ham looking to sign 28-yr-old midfielder before window closes
West Ham are interested in signing the Belgian midfielder Hans Vanaken this summer as per Football Insider. The Belgian international has done well for his club and country over the past year and he could prove to be a quality addition to David Moyes’s midfield. The 28-year-old has started this season with four goals and two assists in six games and it will be interesting to see if the Hammers can convince Club Brugge to part with their star midfield this summer. West Ham could use some goals and creativity in their midfield and Vanaken seems like an ideal fit. He has the quality and the experience to make the step up to the Premier League. He could make an immediate impact at West Ham if he manages to settle in quickly. West Ham are looking to make a move for the midfielder before the win...
Chelsea agree personal terms with Declan Rice
Chelsea are interested in signing the West Ham midfielder Declan Rice this summer. The Blues need to add some defensive cover to their midfield and the 21-year-old would be the ideal addition for them. The talented defensive midfielder has proven his quality with the Hammers and he is good enough to succeed at a club like Chelsea. According to Fabrizio Romano, the London club will open talks with West Ham in the coming days and the player is pushing to join Chelsea. Furthermore, Nicolo Schira claims that Declan Rice has already agreed on personal terms with the Blues and he will sign a five-year contract with them if Chelsea can agree on a fee with West Ham. Declan Rice is well settled in the Premier League and if Chelsea manage to sign him, he should be able to make an immediate impact at...
Report: West Ham looking to sign 27-yr-old international from their rivals this summer
West Ham have been linked with quite a few defenders in the recent weeks and they are thought to be keen on the Chelsea star Antonio Rudiger now. According to Daily Mail, the German defender has fallen down the pecking order at the London club and West Ham could look to sign him. Rudiger was dropped against Liverpool in Chelsea’s last Premier League game. Moyes’s side need to tighten up at the back and Rudiger would be a sensational signing for them. The German international has the quality and experience to improve them immediately. He could be the ideal partner and mentor for Issa Diop. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea are willing to sell the 27-year-old to their London rivals. Rudiger needs to play regular first-team football at this stage of his career and if Chelsea cannot pro...
Report: Hammers keen on landing £120k-a-wk England international or his teammate
According to The Daily Telegraph, West Ham United have joined Aston Villa in the race to sign Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley on a season-long loan. They also have Ruben Loftus-Cheek on their radar, but will have to settle for one out of the Blues duo as Premier League rules mean they can only loan a single player from one club. Chelsea have demanded that any club pays Barkley his full £120,000-a-week salary if they take him on loan, and it remains to be seen whether West Ham will be keen to meet their demands. Villa are reluctant to agree a deal on those terms, though, and it could give David Moyes’ side a chance. Given the stiff competition for playing minutes at Chelsea, Barkley could be keen to leave temporarily in order to boost his chances of making Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions squ...
Report: West Ham hoping to sign player whom PL manager hailed as ‘hell of a talent’
West Ham United are interested in signing Tammy Abraham from Chelsea, according to reports from the Daily Mail. The Hammers could face competition from fellow Premier League rivals Aston Villa this summer. Abraham, who scored 18 goals in 47 Chelsea appearances last term, fell out of Frank Lampard’s starting line-up towards the end of last season behind Olivier Giroud. The 22-year-old could further drop down the pecking order behind Timo Werner who joined this summer on a big-money deal from RB Leipzig. The England international striker has only managed just 11 minutes of Premier League action this season. He started against Barnsley in the Carabao Cup in which he netted his first goal of the season. He provided two assists, with Kai Havertz scoring a hat-trick. Villa enquired abo...
Report: Newcastle and West Ham submit bid to sign 26-yr-old target
Juventus defender Daniele Rugani has been linked with a move away from the club this summer. Yesterday we covered reports claiming that Newcastle and West Ham are keen on signing the 26-year-old centre back. It seems that the two clubs have now made their move to sign the Italian. According to Calciomercato, both Premier League clubs have made bids for the player and the offers are being considered right now. It will be interesting to see where Rugani ends up this summer. He is a talented player who needs to play regular first team football in order to develop and fulfil his potential. Staying at Juventus could seriously affect his development. He is not a key starter for the Italian champions and he is unlikely to start regularly for them anytime soon. Both Newcastle and West Ham cou...
