West Ham are reportedly tracking Tromsø IL midfielder Jens Hjertø-Dahl ahead of the summer window, with fresh claims from Sport Witnes suggesting the Hammers are firmly in the mix.
The 20-year-old has come through the ranks at Tromsø and made his senior debut back in 2023. Since then, he’s racked up 90 appearances in all competitions, contributing 16 goals and nine assists — impressive enough stats for the youngster to catch the eye of numerous clubs. What has really caught the eye this season is the step up the 6ft4 midfielder has made having notched 4 goals in two league appearances.
Growing interest across Europe
Interest in Hjertø-Dahl isn’t new. Rangers have previously been linked, while reports from Italy suggested a side managed by Danny Röhl were keeping tabs.
Add Celtic and Beşiktaş into the mix, and it’s clear this is a player attracting attention across Europe.
However, there’s a strange glitch in the matrix in this latest update.

The report claims West Ham’s interest is dependent on Premier League survival — which, given the current situation, makes sense. What doesn’t quite add up is the suggestion that Wolverhampton Wanderers are also in the race.
Why the Wolves link doesn’t add up
Wolves are already as good as confirmed for Championship football next season, so their inclusion doesn’t make any sense. If West Ham’s interest hinges on staying in the Premier League, it’s unclear why a relegated side would be in the same conversation.
It could simply be outdated information or agents casting the net wide to build momentum around the player. Either way, it makes this rumour one to be taken with a pinch of salt.
