TBR Football chief reporter Graeme Bailey confirmed that West Ham is in talks with two international defenders, while three players may leave the team.

West Ham has been relatively low-key in the summer transfer window, with only one new deal in recent weeks. Young Scottish striker Daniel Cummings will join the Hammers from the Celtics free transfer. Another player, Mohamed Kante, will also join the London Stadium, but the deal was finalized last summer. West Ham is now focusing on two players who are interested in joining, and three players may leave the team at the same time.

TBR Football chief reporter Graeme Bailey confirmed that West Ham has contacted international defenders El Haji Malik Diouf and Oscar Mingeza. Senegal international Diov, who currently plays for Slavia, Prague, and Spanish right-back Mingeza, who currently plays for Celta, are both regarded as top defensive targets by West Ham United.

20-year-old Diouf has attracted the attention of several Premier League clubs in the past 12 months, including Crystal Palace, which has negotiated with him. Now we understand that West Ham has negotiated with Slavia Prague on a potential transfer, with the two sides valuing players differently and the negotiations are still in a very early stage.

Similarly, Mingeza was also the target of Aston Villa in January. The Spanish international has been locked in by West Ham's recruitment team and they have negotiated a possible transfer. Mingeza is open to joining the Hammer Gang.

As for the departure, West Ham United is currently negotiating for the sale of star winger Kudus, and Tottenham Hotspur is the main chaser. We also learned that the departure deals between left-back Emerson Palmieri and midfielder Guido Rodriguez have also been arranged.
