West Ham’s latest transfer rumour has sparked disgust for Alan Brazil.
Three days have now passed since the summer transfer window officially opened, and West Ham have already been linked with a whole host of players.
After such a disappointing campaign last time out, the Irons need to recruit well, though exits may need to be sanctioned to raise the funds needed to bolster Graham Potter’s squad.
With that in mind, one West Ham star has been linked with a huge move away, and Brazil cannot believe the news to have emerged.

Chelsea ready move to sign West Ham star
Most of the focus this summer will be on cimonings, with Alexander Mitrovic among those linked with a move to the London Stadium, though talks over exits will be just as prominent.

One of those to have been linked with a move away is Mohammed Kudus, who Chelsea are said to be keeping an eye on, and Brazil cannot believe the rumour.

Speaking via talkSPORT (4 June), Shebahn Aherne revealed that the Blues may have to pay the £85million release clause to sign the Hammers forward, to which Brazil replied, “The game’s gone mental.”
However, that is the price that Premier League sides will have to pay to sign the Senegalese international, with West Ham unlikely to budge on their asking price.
While Kudus has not lived up to expectations throughout his time at the London Stadium, to sell him to a rival would not make any sense from a business perspective.

West Ham must consider Kudus sale
Kudus has the ability, but for the overwhelming majority of his time with the Hammers, that ability hasnt translated into performances on the pitch.
His exit would leave a hole, but one that could easily be filled with the right planning and recruitment in place.
As to whether the Irons have that is yet to be seen, though it will certainly be put to the test ahead of what promises to be a crucial summer period, and they can’t afford to make any mistakes.
