According to various outlets, West Ham are seriously considering a move for Aston Villa midfielder, John McGinn. While nothing concrete has emerged yet, the player's name has reportedly featured in internal discussions about possible reinforcements ahead of the run-in. While West Ham and Aston Villa continue talks, no breakthrough has been reported. Everton and Newcastle reportedly may still have an interest, but currently the focus is on getting this deal across the line. In season 25/26, West Ham are conceding 2.05 goals per game (41 in 20 games), which points to a lack of control in midfield. John McGinn would be expected to calm things down and protect the back line better. Alongside this, Aston Villa are said to be exploring Omar Marmoush, Louie Barry and David Moller Wolfe with West Ham likewise connected to Bento, Edward Nketiah and Troy Parrott.
