The transfer mill is churning once again, with West Ham believed to be lining up a move for Exequiel Palacios, the midfielder from Leverkusen. Sources close to the club suggest they are exploring options to reinforce their squad ahead of the run-in. Fenerbahce have not withdrawn their interest and could still influence the outcome. West Ham's 25/26 record of 2.33 goals conceded per game shows they're missing balance in midfield. Someone like Exequiel Palacios could give them more structure and help them manage games. Leverkusen continue to be linked with Rasmus Winther Hojlund and Raheem Sterling while West Ham are also rumoured to be tracking Mehdi Taremi, Zion Suzuki and Pierce Charles.
