Hopes of seeing Taylor Harwood-Bellis in a West Ham shirt have been dashed, with multiple reports saying his proposed move from Southampton now off the table. The defender was a key target this window, but the transfer has fallen through before an agreement could be reached and the buying club are looking at new transfer targets. Talks collapsed before reaching an agreement, and with no other clubs involved, Taylor Harwood-Bellis remains at Southampton. This season (25/26) West Ham have shipped 48 goals in 24 matches - 2.0 a game, which is well above the Premier League average. Taylor Harwood-Bellis would be expected to come in and help tighten things up at the back. Southampton continue to be linked with Bobby Wales while West Ham are also rumoured to be tracking Angel Gomes, Nicola Zalewski and Harry Maguire. Want to see how the story develops?
