Kobbie Mainoo is reportedly at the centre of ongoing transfer discussions between West Ham and Man Utd. The midfielder has attracted serious transfer interest in recent weeks, and talks are now in progress to see if there's a deal to be done. Sources close to the deal suggest negotiations are active, with both sides working to find common ground over the player's potential move. While Barcelona, Manchester City and Everton have shown interest, West Ham currently lead the race - though the situation could evolve if a deal drags on. In season 25/26, West Ham are conceding 2.22 goals per game (20 in 9 games), which points to a lack of control in midfield. Kobbie Mainoo would be expected to calm things down and protect the back line better. Man Utd continue to be linked with Lucas Paqueta, Jeremy Monga and Rafael Leao while West Ham are also rumoured to be tracking Alexsandro Ribeiro, Kenneth Taylor and Gonzalo García Torres.
