Welcome to KUMB's latest transfer rumour round-up - five stories from around the web featuring players potentially on West Ham's shopping list, or current Hammers on the radar of other clubs...
Niclas Fullkrug
Real Madrid are reportedly interested in signing German striker Niclas Fullkrug.
Despite a disappointing spell at West Ham scoring just three goals and providing two assists in 20 appearances, the 32-year-old is considered a serious option by Madrid due to his experience and European pedigree.
Although he still has three years left on his contract, and the only senior striker come July due to Antonio and Ing’s out of contract. West Ham may be open to selling him for the right price, as he has struggled to settle at the club.

Mario Stroeykens
West Ham have reportedly had a €10m (£8.5m) bid for 20-year-old Belgian midfielder Mario Stroeykens rejected by Anderlecht, who are holding out for €20m.
Stroeykens fits the profile manager Graham Potter is targeting—young, energetic, and creative in midfield. With Anderlecht struggling to extend his contract, other clubs are alert, but West Ham are believed to be the first to make a formal move. Now, it’s up to the board to decide whether to increase their offer.

Lukasz Fabianski
Łukasz Fabiański has reportedly been offered to Charlton Athletic following their promotion to the Championship.
The 40-year-old goalkeeper is set to leave West Ham when his contract expires on June 30 but has no plans to retire. Staying in London appeals to him due to his son’s development and education, and he prefers not to return to Poland. With 376 Premier League appearances and 97 clean sheets, Fabiański brings significant experience.

Aaron Ramsdale
The Southampton goalkeeper is set to move on this summer following the Saints' relegation from the Premier League. West Ham's interest has been frequently referenced in recent weeks, however the Hammers could face a new challenge for his signature - should Graham Potter decide to make a move for the England international.
With Manchester United having also expressed interest, given their desire to replace current stopper Andre Onana, Champions League qualifiers Galatasary are now reported to have thrown their hat into the ring. The Turkish Super League outfit have a history of signing former Premier League players and Ramsdale - currently valued at around the £20million mark - would certainly fit the bill.

Vladimir Coufal
Latest speculation suggests the popular Czech full back, who spent four years in east London prior to being released this month could be offered a Premier League lifeline with newly-promoted Leeds United.
While a whole hosts of experienced PL players are available for free transfer this summer, the Yorkshire side - now under the watchful eye of former Norwich manager Daniel Farke - are reported to have identified Coufal as exactly the kind of player who could help them in their bid to retain their Premier League status.

And one for luck...
Grady Diangana
The former West Ham United Academy graduate left east London - to join West Bromwich Albion - amidst a storm of protest in 2020 with the Irons collecting a rude £19million for his services.
Having ended his time at The Hawthorns, with his contract having expired at the end of last season, the Congolese international is being touted with a move abroad - with French side Marseille apparently ready to offer him a contract at the Stade Vélodrome.
