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...
Danny Ings
Danny Ings is poised to join Championship side Middlesbrough on a free transfer following his release from West Ham at the end of June 2025.
A seasoned striker with 72 Premier League goals in 240 appearances, he is set to return to the second tier for the first time in 11 years since his prolific 21-goal campaign with Burnley in 2013–14. Ings is expected to be the first signing under new manager Rob Edwards at the Riverside Stadium, bringing invaluable experience and leadership as Middlesbrough aim for promotion.

Marc Casado
Marc Casado, a 21-year-old defensive midfielder from Barcelona is valued somewhere between the €45–50 million mark. Known for his excellent passing, ball retention, and defensive awareness, Casado also ranks highly for progressive passing, making him ideal for a possession-based system.
He’d be a strong fit at West Ham, especially under Graham Potter offering composure, tactical intelligence and the ability to control the tempo from deep midfield. If the Hammers are seeking a long-term replacement in the heart of midfield, a blend of youth, talent, and versatility he would be a smart investment.

Guido Rodriguez
Guido Rodríguez could be set to leave West Ham United having reportedly received at least three offers now—two from European clubs and one from Mexico, said to be from Tigres.
While no official move has been confirmed he is also considering a return to Argentina, with River Plate seen as a possible destination to fill their midfield needs. The potential move would be on a free transfer, as Rodríguez has already decided not to continue with the Hammers.

Mateus Fernandes
West Ham are rumoured to be showing interest in Mateus Fernandes, Southampton's talented 21-year-old central midfielder.
West Ham see Fernandes as a possible creative option in the middle of the park, especially if other midfield departures occur this summer. He’s viewed as someone who could develop into a key squad player under new manager Graham Potter’s possession-based style. While no formal offer has been made yet, the estimated price tag for Fernandes is thought to be in the region of £15million. His profile and age make him an appealing long-term investment, and with several Premier League clubs monitoring his situation West Ham may need to move quickly if they want to secure his signature.

Sergio Reguilon
28-year-old left-back Sergio Reguilon is being linked with a move to West Ham United this summer after becoming a free agent following his release from Tottenham Hotspur.
Reguilon, who has previously played for Real Madrid, Sevilla, Manchester United and Brentford, would bring Premier League experience and attacking full-back qualities that appeal to West Ham’s recruitment plans under Graham Potter. Despite having agreed to sign El Hadji Malick Diouf from Slavia Prague, West Ham are reportedly battling with Everton and Bournemouth for his signature, with clubs in Serie A and Saudi Arabia also showing interest.

And today's one for luck...

Former Hammers centre half Kurt Zouma, 30, who spent the fial year of his Hammers contract on loan with Al Orobah, has reportedly been offered to Sevilla this summer as a free agent.
Though no transfer has been finalised, the experienced French centre-back's agency is actively in talks with the Spanish side—suggesting Sevilla could bolster their defence with the defender who is available on a free transfer. Zouma was best known for winning the Europa League with Chelsea before joining West Ham in 2021 where he won the far more prestigious Conference League title...
