West Ham Nears Multiple Transfers Including Aguerd Sale, Defender Signing

West Ham United is undergoing significant changes this summer, with several key departures and a focus on strengthening their squad. Forward Mohammed Kudus is poised to join Tottenham in a £55 million deal, marking a major exit for the club amid a disappointing season. Defensively, West Ham is prioritizing the signing of a top-class center-back, as manager Graham Potter is dissatisfied with the current options, including Konstantinos Mavropanos and Nayef Aguerd, both of whom could leave if suitable offers are made. Aguerd, who struggled with injuries and form, is attracting interest from several clubs, including Marseille, Sunderland, and Bayer Leverkusen, and is expected to be sold to facilitate squad rebuilding. West Ham is also monitoring young defender El Hadji Malick Diouf, competing with Leeds United for his signature. The club’s strategy involves offloading underperforming players to fund new acquisitions, aiming to avoid another poor Premier League campaign.
