According to the latest transfer reports, the Hammers – who have been fairly busy towards the end of the summer transfer window after a disappointing start to the 2025-26 season – have entered the race to sign Arsenal midfielder Fabio Vieira.

Graham Potter’s club had lost Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham Hotspur earlier this summer, and are eyeing the Portuguese midfielder as his potential replacement.

Jamie Vardy’s spell as a free agent following a 13-year run with Leicester City has come to an end with the 38-year-old striker signing with Serie A club Cremonese.

The former England international, who was part of the Foxes side that won the 2015-16 Premier League season, will be joining the Lombardy-based club on a one-year contract with an option for a further year, according to Daily Mail.

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick is “convinced” that Fermin Lopez will remain at the club this summer. Chelsea are reportedly after the services of Lopez.

“I spoke with him. I’m convinced that he will stay, but at the end I don’t know what happens. We have to wait. I am really happy when the market is closed,” Flick said.

“I told him my opinion, but it’s between him and me. Sometimes players have other thoughts. Around the players are also a lot of people, who know maybe more than we know.

“It’s a big business. I have to focus on my team and I am really happy Fermín plays for Barca. He’s a really important player for us. He showed that last season. His style is different to other players. He can help us a lot.”

Manchester United winger Antony has shared a cryptic message on Instagram after his potential transfer to Real Betis was called off. The La Liga club withdrew their offer on Friday despite agreeing terms with the Red Devils.

In his post, Antony shared a photo with friends at a restaurant, captioned: _“_Among family and friends, life always has a big surprise in store for us.”

Cody Gakpo has committed his future to Liverpool by signing a new long-term contract, two and a half years after arriving at Anfield.

“I feel at home, my family feels at home and that’s also a big decision always. They feel good. I’m very happy at the club, a good group, good teammates, so the life around the football itself is very good and I enjoy every moment of it. I’m very grateful that I can extend,” he said.
