After weeks of intense speculation, multiple reliable sources have confirmed that West Ham have tabled a concrete offer for Endrick Felipe Moreira de Sousa, the Real Madrid forward who has been catching the eye this year. The bid signals the first move in what could be intense negotiations - with the team said to be reluctant to let an important player go unless his valuation is met. While Juventus and Newcastle have shown interest, West Ham currently lead the race - though the situation could evolve if a deal drags on. West Ham's 25/26 output of 0.86 goals per game is behind league levels. The addition of Endrick Felipe Moreira de Sousa would give them the sharper edge they're missing in front of goal. Alongside this, Real Madrid are said to be exploring Alexis MacAllister, Chema and Erling Haaland with West Ham likewise connected to Ivan Toney, Valentin Castellanos and Adama Traore.
