Rohit Sarkar - August 12, 2025 0
There is a lot of activity at the London Stadium this summer transfer window. Under the leadership of Graham Potter, West Ham United are trying to create a new look to their squad. The performance of the team have been inconsistent in the last few seasons - sometimes memorable moments in European tournaments, and sometimes disappointing results in the league. In such a situation, the club are trying to add players who can give stability and strength to the team for a long time, especially after the dismal season in the Premier League in 2024/25. However, the transfer market does not always provide you with a straight path, and this time, too, the story seems to be somewhat the same for the Hammers. West Ham United's recent season has been a mixed bag. The team won some big matches, but the lack of stability kept them at the bottom half of the points table. After Potter's arrival, the club's priority are clear, and that is to create the right balance of youth and experienced players in the squad. The club are seemingly keeping an eye on names who are not only technically strong but can also mentally handle the pressure of the Premier League. New targets are constantly being named in the media, and now a new name is doing the rounds that has fans curious. Southampton's stance on West Ham United target Mateus Fernandes raises the heat West Ham United have sent an initial offer to Southampton for 21-year-old Mateus Fernandes. However, it is reported by Alfie House that the Saints did not even bother to look at the offer. The reason is clear that the club did not like either the fee or the payment structure. Fernandes has another four years left in his contract, and Southampton are in no hurry to sell him. The club have valued the player at over £30m, which is well above the Hammers' initial offer. According to reports, Southampton are in no mood to reconsider this offer. If West Ham want Fernandes, they will either have to increase the offer amount significantly or come up with a new offer that is attractive to the Saints. Meanwhile, Potter sees the player as a long-term solution in midfield, but the picture is not clear yet. Opinion: This development has dealt an early blow to Potter's transfer plans as the market will come to an end in a few days. A young and versatile player like Fernandes can bring new energy to the team's midfield, but Southampton's tough stance suggests that West Ham will have to be aggressive in pursuing this deal. The initial failure does not mean the matter is over, but if the right decision is not made on time, the club may have to look for other options. This could become a test case for West Ham—whether they will stand firm in the market for their priority targets or succumb to the circumstances. For Potter, this is also an opportunity to show how far he can fight for the club's needs. Fans are hoping that this story turns into a strong signing rather than just being a rumour.

Rangers: Attacking the Box

Chermiti has scored some exceptional goals but potentially an argument that he doesn't make "traditional" movements to steal the simple goals often enough like he did v Celtic.

Looking back at the Hearts game again and we don't appear to have players
