Romano Schmid could be set for a new club as active negotiations between West Ham and Bremen are ongoing over a potential transfer. The midfielder is seen as the perfect addition to the squad as they look to strengthen a key area of the pitch, with unconfirmed reports suggesting that talks are underway. While discussions are reportedly still in their early stages, there is increased optimism that a deal could be reached in the coming days. Lille have not withdrawn their interest and could still influence the outcome.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 Romano Schmid could give them more structure and help them manage games. Reports suggest West Ham are monitoring Mehdi Taremi, Junior Mwanga and Hector Fort whereas Bremen have not been associated with other players at this stage.
