The name Greenwood is one that will always be synonymous with West Ham — and for all the right reasons.
After all, it was former manager Ron Greenwood who set so many Hammers legends on their way before eventually leaving Upton Park to manage England.
But today, West Ham have been linked with a very different Greenwood — Mason — as the club begin to line up potential January transfers.

A Controversial Link That Will Not be Popular
The former Manchester United striker remains a controversial figure. He was suspended and later released by the Red Devils following the leak of highly disturbing video footage. After facing charges of attempted rape and assault in 2022 — which were later dropped — Greenwood was frozen out by United before rebuilding his career abroad.
He joined Getafe on loan, impressing in La Liga, before making a permanent move to Marseille in July 2024. The forward, who has since switched international allegiance from England to Jamaica, has been in sensational form in Ligue 1 this season.
Reports today link him with moves to both Barcelona and West Ham, though the reaction from Hammers fans has been overwhelmingly negative.
One of the first comments on Claret & Hugh read:
“If West Ham sign this player, it will be a new low.”
As things stand, this appears to be nothing more than a rumour — and, in truth, a highly unlikely one.
