The deal to bring Edward Nketiah to West Ham has reportedly broken down. The Crystal Palace forward had featured prominently in the club's plans, but sources are now speculating that no agreement was reached and both sides are expected to move on quickly to new targets. Whether talks will resume further down the line remains to be seen. Negotiations failed to produce a deal, and with no other reported suitors, the situation is set to remain unchanged for Edward Nketiah. In season 25/26, West Ham are only scoring 1.21 goals per game (29 in 24), below the Premier League average. Edward Nketiah would be brought in to give them more bite in the final third. Alongside this, Crystal Palace are said to be exploring Dwight McNeil, Jayden Oosterwolde and Ethan Pinnock with West Ham likewise connected to Angel Gomes, Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Nicola Zalewski.
