West Ham are poised to sign Finland international Eva Nystrom. The 25-year-old hopes to complete her move to London next week, ending a four-year stay at Swedish club Hammarby. The centre-back would become West Ham's first signing of the January transfer window and fills a position that was a priority for manager Rehanne Skinner.

Expectations were high for West Ham coming into the current season. They parted ways with Conference League-winning manager David Moyes in the summer and his replacement, Julen Lopetegui, spent big, bringing the likes of Crysencio Summerville, Niclas Fullkrug, Guido Rodriguez, Max Kilman and more through the door.

TBR Football have received news on whether Tim Steidten will stay at West Ham to work with Graham Potter after Julen Lopetegui was sacked. After nine defeats in 20 games this season left West Ham 14th in the Premier League – despite almost £150m worth of summer signings – the Hammers have now decided to part ways with the Spaniard.

West Ham United could make a move for Lille star Angel Gomes in the January transfer window, according to reports - with a cash offer potentially trumping any other interested parties in the winter window.
