Here’s your latest West Ham United [transfer](https://www.claretandhugh.info/alvarez-and-manchester-united-developments/) round-up from the past 24 hours — all the gossip, rumours, and whispers doing the rounds:
* An offer has reportedly been made for Southampton midfielder Mateus Fernandes
* Conflicting reports over interest in Leicester keeper Mads Hermansen
* John Victor bid rejected by Botafogo
* Jacob Ramsey remains a top target, but doubts linger
* West Ham not moving for Hackney or Morton due to Freddie Potts
* Club linked with Southampton winger Tyler Dibling
According to ExWHUEmployee, West Ham have submitted an offer for Southampton’s Mateus Fernandes, but the player and his agent are said to prefer a move abroad.
The club have distanced themselves from reports suggesting an official bid has been made for Leicester goalkeeper Mads Hermansen. However, conflicting sources maintain that West Ham remain interested. A source close to the club says Hermansen is a player of interest, but **Zion Suzuki** remains the top target between the sticks.
West Ham have made a concrete bid for Botafogo goalkeeper **John Victor**, but the offer has been rejected by the Brazilian club.
Aston Villa’s **Jacob Ramsey** is said to be West Ham’s top midfield target, and talks have taken place. However, the rumoured £40-50 million price tag — coupled with doubts over the player’s desire to move — could prove to be a stumbling block, despite him being represented by Will Salthouse, who has close ties to the club.
Elsewhere, **Hayden Hackney** is expected to join Ipswich and **Tyler Morton** could head to Lyon. West Ham’s lack of interest in either midfielder is believed to be due to the emergence of **Freddie Potts**.
Meanwhile, **Everton** have had a £27 million bid rejected for Southampton winger **Tyler Dibling**, and West Ham are among the clubs reportedly monitoring the situation.
