However, a football agent has now informed Claret & Hugh that the player has no interest in joining the London club. Top teams across Europe are interested in signing Dju, and a move to West Ham would be a step down for him. Furthermore, he is likely to cost a lot of money. The agent claimed: Franculino will cost 40 million in the summer, 60 million in January, has 810 clubs interested, and has zero interest in West Ham.

West Ham are expected to be busy in January, as they seek to add much-needed signings to Nuno Espirito Santo's squad. The Portuguese will have his say in the process, and he wants to be reunited with one of his former players at the London Stadium. Aside from Jarrod Bowen, West Ham have struggled in attack, so it is expected that the club's sporting department will address the forward areas. An injection of pace could come, which is where Adama Traore would be ideal

The January transfer window will help them in this regard, and plans are being drawn up for signings to be added to Nuno Espirito Santo's squad. One area that could be addressed in attack, with both Niclas Fullkrug and Callum Wilson having struggled in the goalscoring department. Nuno may push to sign another striker when the transfer window re-opens, and if so, there could be one candidate that stands out above the rest: Ivan Toney

West Ham United manager Nuno Espirito Santo is reportedly interested in a transfer raid for his former player, Fulham winger Adama Traore. The Spanish wide-man played under Nuno when they were together at Wolves a few years ago, and it seems he's now on West Ham's radar. Nuno recently took over from Graham Potter as Hammers boss and it makes sense that he's now keen to put his own stamp on this squad at the London Stadium.

The transfer window may have already closed, but that does not mean that the likes of West Ham and Crystal Palace cannot sign players. There are a number of free agent currently available on the market that could be attractive propositions for either club. For West Ham in particular, they could need a signing or two as they seek to improve following the sacking of Graham Potter.

Graham Potter's side were well beaten against Tottenham last weekend and talk of a replacement in the dugout have been talked up. Slaven Bilic and Nuno Espirito Santo are just two names currently in the running. Elsewhere, the future of Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has also been a hot topic of conversation, with the Austrian having

The Hammers, who have lost their first two top-flight games and were dumped out of the EFL Cup by Wolves in midweek, will part with over £40m for the 21-year-old. Fernandes becomes the third-most expensive player in West Ham's history, after creative midfielder Lucas Paqueta and striker Sebastien Haller. He only joined Southampton from Sporting CP in a £15m deal last year, before impressing in 2024-25 despite the Saints being relegated to the Championship with a mere 12 points.
