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...
Lucas Stassin
Stassin, who currently plies his trade in the French second division was frequently linked with a move to east London at the end of last season, although in recent weeks noise around the proposed transfer has dulled. But according to French journalist Sacha Tavolieri, West Ham retain an interest in the young forward.
"There is no concrete proposal yet," he said. "There is interest, in particular from Stuttgart which is already old but still relevant. There is also West Ham, but that is not something extraordinary either. There are also interested parties in France. The domino effect has not yet taken place, because it is only July. I think that will take a few more weeks."

Michael Zetterer
West Ham United are reportedly eyeing Michael Zetterer, a 29-year-old goalkeeper currently playing for SV Werder Bremen. Under contract until 2027, Zetterer is valued at just €4.5million by Transfermarkt.
While he currently holds the number one spot at Bremen, Zetterer is facing pressure from 21-year-old Mio Backhaus, a rising prospect seen as his likely successor. FC Copenhagen have also shown interest in the past, but it’s West Ham now monitoring the experienced shot-stopper closely.

Konstantinos Mavropanos
Roma are reportedly interested in signing Greek defender Mavropanos. The 27-year-old centre back has struggled to retain a first team place under either Julen Lopetegui or Graham Potter, and is available for transfer at the right price.
The Italian side, who finished fifith in Serie A last season are reported to be "actively in talks with West Ham as part of a defensive rebuild, especially if they move on Evan Ndicka". Market valuation for Mavropanos stands at approximately €17million, according to Transfermarkt.

Ardon Jashari
The €40million-valued Swiss midfielder has been tentatively linked with a move to West Ham, although Serie A side AC Milan were thought to be in the box seat to land the 22-year-old talent. However it has been confirmed by Club Brugge sporting director Devy Rigaux and CEO Bob Madou a move to Italy has stalled - with the Jupiler League outfit hoping Jashari remains in Belgium.
"The talks with AC Milan are at a standstill. They know our point of view," they said. "We believe that Ardon's cycle has not yet been completed at club. Today there is nothing on the table that can be an exception in our opinion. With all due respect to someone who is undeniably one of our best players, you can't just walk out the door. We are convinced Ardon will make a top transfer, but only at a time when it is right for everyone. Today that is not the case for us, so we assume he will stay."

It has been claimed Brazilian club Botafogo have made an official proposal for West Ham's young winger Luís Guilherme.
However it is also claimed the £25million-man wishes to stay in European football, even though his opportunities have been limited at West Ham thus far. Botafogo's interest is said to be because "his profile fits what Eagle Football wants: a young player who still has room for growth on and off the field".
