Mateus Fernandes, El Hadji Malick Diouf, Crysencio Summerville, Jean-Clair Todibo and Alphonse Areola are all expected to depart West Ham in the forthcoming months.@TheAthleticFC
With midfield the clear priority, Manchester United are in advanced talks with Atalanta over Ederson.
Mateus Fernandes is another player of interest, with United having held talks over a potential fee and wages. West Ham United have little choice but to sell the 21-year-old following their relegation from the Premier League.
Alex Scott is also a potential target. The 22-year-old is in talks with Bournemouth over a new contract, with his deal set to run until 2028. As things stand, an extension is seen as unlikely. United have made inquiries as to the cost of a deal.
Newcastle United’s Lewis Hall is among the options being considered at left-back, raising the prospect of a move for a player whose path crossed with Christopher Vivell’s at Chelsea. @mjcritchley
