Confirmed reports suggest that negotiations over the transfer of Bright Akwo Arrey-Mbi are ongoing, with West Ham pushing to land the defender from Braga to strengthen their squad. Discussions are said to be constructive, with the structure of the deal - including add-ons and bonuses - now under consideration, although there is currently no confirmation of an agreed fee for the player. The player is aware of the interest and would reportedly be open to the move, should personal terms be agreed. West Ham continue discussions over the move, with no rival interest reported so far to complicate matters. This season (25/26) West Ham have shipped 14 goals in 6 matches - 2.33 a game, which is well above the Premier League average. Bright Akwo Arrey-Mbi would be expected to come in and help tighten things up at the back.
