Transfer speculation continues to mount as Lorenzo Pellegrini has been linked in recent days with a move to West Ham. The midfielder, currently playing for Roma, could add a new dimension to the squad if the rumoured interest turns into an official approach before the end of the transfer window. West Ham remain optimistic, but the deal is not without hurdles. Tottenham continue to monitor developments and could yet re-enter the race if negotiations stall or valuation gaps remain unresolved. West Ham's 25/26 record of 2.33 goals conceded per game shows they're missing balance in midfield. Someone like Lorenzo Pellegrini could give them more structure and help them manage games. Alongside this, Roma are said to be exploring Julio Enciso, Rasmus Winther Hojlund and Marc Bernal Casas with West Ham likewise connected to Mehdi Taremi, Youssef En-Nesyri and Ngal ayel Mukau.
