Welcome back to KUMB's latest transfer rumour round-up - five stories from around the web featuring players potentially on West Ham's shopping list, or current Hammers on the radar of other clubs...

Max Kilman

The 28-year-old centre-back, who joined the club in July 2024 from Wolverhampton Wanderers for a fee ITRO £40 million, is now apparently surplus to requirements under the current regime.

According to sources, West Ham may be willing to accept around £25million for him in January, a significant drop from what they paid. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace have emerged as a possible destination, with rumours linking them to Kilman as a replacement for their own departing defender, Marc Guehi.

Joaquín Panichelli



Joaquín Panichelli is on West Ham United's radar as the club seek to bolster their attacking options in January. Panichelli is a 23-year-old Argentine forward, currently playing for RC Strasbourg in France’s Ligue 1.

Since joining Strasbourg in the summer of 2025 from Deportivo Alavés for around €16.5million, Panichelli has made an impressive start, notching nine goals in his first 15 league appearances. If West Ham were to move for him, estimates suggest a transfer value near €25million, though competition from other clubs could push the price higher.

Tochukwu Nnadi

There’s rising talk that Tochukwu Nnadi could soon join West Ham as the club scouts midfield reinforcements. Nnadi is a 22-year-old Nigerian defensive midfielder, currently playing for Zulte Waregem in Belgium.

West Ham are considering offering about €4million for him according to this source, with negotiations reportedly ongoing and a long-term deal of up to five years on the table. The move, if completed, would represent a big step up for Nnadi from Belgian club football to the Premier League.

Sacha Boey



Sacha Boey could be on the move from Bayern Munich to West Ham United, as the Hammers reportedly explore right-back options ahead of the January window. Boey is a 25-year-old, French defender who primarily plays as a right-back.

He joined Bayern in January 2024 from Galatasaray, with the transfer fee reportedly around €30million. However, limited playing time and a crowded right-back slot means Bayern may be willing to sell, recent reports suggest a possible sale price of around £16million.

Christos Mouzakitis

There has been talk around Christos Mouzakitis joining West Ham United, though at the moment such talk remains very tenuous and unconfirmed. Mouzakitis is an 18-year-old Greek central midfielder, who currently plays for Olympiacos in Greece.

If a move were to be considered, one big hurdle would be his valuation. Olympiacos reportedly place a price tag around £40million on the talented youngster, a high figure for someone so young and relatively untested at the highest levels of club football.

Given his age and development curve, such a fee would make any potential transfer a serious long-term investment rather than a quick fix, so while Mouzakitis has plenty of upside, a move to West Ham (or elsewhere) remains highly speculative for now.
