SHOCK TRANSFER BOMBSHELL: £53M SUPERSTAR IN SECRET WEST HAM TALKS – READY TO DITCH CLUB IN JANUARY AND SPARK PREMIER LEAGUE CHAOS!
Nuno Espírito Santo is still searching for his first win as West Ham United manager since replacing Graham Potter last month, with the club’s form plummeting and the January transfer window looming as a potential lifeline.
West Ham’s latest setback came in a 2-1 defeat to Leeds United, where early goals from Brenden Aaronson and Joe Rodon left the Hammers chasing the game despite a late strike from Mateus Fernandes.
This result extended their dismal run, which includes heavy defeats to Chelsea (1-5), Tottenham (0-3), Brentford (0-2), and Arsenal (0-2), leaving the club entrenched in a relegation battle.
Nuno has continued to experiment with his lineup in search of a winning formula, deploying Lucas Paqueta as a false nine for the second consecutive game.
Andy Irving and Tomas Soucek partnered in midfield, while Jean-Clair Todibo and Max Kilman retained their spots in defence. However, the setup again failed to deliver results.
The Portuguese coach’s decisions have raised eyebrows — particularly his lack of faith in Callum Wilson and the continued exclusion of James Ward-Prowse, who has not featured in a single matchday squad under Nuno and may seek a January exit.
Recognising the squad’s shortcomings, the club’s hierarchy — led by chairman David Sullivan and vice-chair Karren Brady — are reportedly planning significant activity in January.
Nuno has requested reinforcements in defence, midfield, and attack, with Sky Sports claiming funds will be made available.
Injuries to Niclas Füllkrug and doubts over Wilson have left West Ham short of attacking options, prompting the search for a reliable striker.
One of their top targets is Real Madrid’s Brazilian prodigy Endrick, who has struggled for minutes at the Bernabéu due to fitness issues and competition for places.
West Ham had pursued him on loan last January and have reportedly reopened talks with Real over a temporary deal.
Spanish sources claim Endrick is “preparing to leave” Madrid, though Brentford, Real Sociedad, and Sevilla are also interested.
Endrick, signed by Real for £53 million in 2022, remains one of Brazil’s brightest young talents.
Carlo Ancelotti has previously hailed him as “spectacular” with “amazing accuracy and speed,” suggesting his potential could make him a transformative signing — if West Ham can win the race for his signature this winter.
