West Ham United transfer targets summer 2026: Disasi to join permanently?

In this article, we will be bringing you all of the reported West Ham United transfer targets ahead of the summer window.

The Hammers started last season under Spanish manager Julen Lopetegui poorly, a situation which eventually led to his sacking. Subsequently, former Brighton and Chelsea manager Graham Porter was appointed to prevent their slide towards the bottom of the log, helping them to stay in the top division.

However, a poor start to this season saw Potter also lose his job, and be replaced with former Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo. Nonetheless, more signings will be needed in the summer to make sure West Ham are not in a relegation battle again.
