West Ham are known for their attractive football and bringing through brilliant young talent, however, they’ll struggle to land one of their main January target’s, Southampton’s £40m-rated 18-year-old,

West Ham have been impressed by Alberto’s performances for Corinthians and are reportedly prepared to table a €20 million bid this month. Corinthians are not interested in cutting ties with Alberto, but their valuation of the striker is around €10m, so they could be forced to do business if West Ham act on their interest.

West Ham winger Maxwel Cornet has joined Italian side Genoa on loan until the end of the season. The 28-year-old Ivory Coast international was on a season-long loan at Southampton, which has been cut short to allow him to move to Serie A.

Captain Jarrod Bowen is back on the grass but currently sidelined after fracturing his left foot. Michail Antonio is out for the season following his involvement in a car accident in December, while summing signing Niclas Fullkrug suffered a serious hamstring injury in Graham Potter’s first game in charge against Aston Villa and is out for months.

Since joining from Stuttgart for £19million in August 2023, Mavropanos’s decision-making has remained a weakness. Against Palace he was deputising for the injured Jean-Clair Todibo, but he has not shown himself capable of being a first-choice defender at this level.

West Ham have been backed to sign Yuri Alberto in the January transfer window as they look to ehance their attacking options.

According to Claret & Hugh, Cornet's nightmare spell at St Mary's Stadium is set to come to a sobering end before the conclusion of the transfer window. The report states that Southampton boss Ivan Juric has informed the Ivorian that he is not part of the first-team plans for the second half of the term.

Maxwel Cornet has signed for Genoa on loan from West Ham United, the Serie A club said on Monday. Ivory Coast's Cornet, who can play as a winger and full back on the left flank, joins Genoa after being recalled from another loan at Southampton where the 28-year-old only made four appearances.

TBR Football's Graeme Bailey understands that the likes of West Ham and Southampton are tracking non-league starlet Reuben Livesey-Austin.

Ivan Juric has confirmed that he could be without two more of his key players when Southampton host Newcastle United this weekend - with Tyler Dibling already set to miss out.

West Ham have been impressed by Alberto’s performance for Corinthians and are reportedly prepared to table a €20 million bid for the striker this month. Corinthians are not interested in cutting ties with Alberto, but their valuation of the striker is around €10m, so they could be forced to do business if West Ham act on their interest.
