Everton Beat West Ham to Transfer Target
West Ham appear to have lost out on a transfer target to Everton if breaking reports are to be believed.
Football insider Fabrizio Romano has updated his X account with a ‘Here we go’ and revealed that former Hammers manager David Moyes is set to sign Jack Grealish.

Romano is reporting a loan deal from Manchester City to Everton with a medical scheduled in the next 24 hours. West Ham have been heavily linked with a move for the £100m man, and on Saturday City were rumoured to be proposing a swap deal involving Lucas Paquetá heading to the Etihad.
Grealish will not be coming to West Ham but did we really want him?
Presumably, the Toffees’ move now means any such Paquetá deal is off the table — which is surely good news for the Hammers. It’s unclear how much genuine interest there really was from West Ham for Grealish, with a top London Stadium source telling Claret & Hugh: “He’s not the player he used to be.”
It would seem Irons boss Graham Potter is far more focused on bringing in central midfield reinforcements. Crysencio Summerville is due to return to first-team contention next month, meaning West Ham are already well stocked for wide players.
