Fulham Are back with the best deal West Ham ‘Open Talks’ to Sign.. 

West Ham United have reportedly opened talks to sign Fulham midfielder João Palhinha, as the Cottagers return with what many consider the “best deal” of the transfer window. After Bayern Munich failed to secure Palhinha’s signature last summer, West Ham are now looking to take advantage of the situation.

According to reports, the Hammers are eager to reinforce their midfield following Declan Rice’s departure last year and the possible exit of other key players. Palhinha, known for his aggressive tackling and defensive stability, is seen as the perfect addition to David Moyes’ squad as they aim to push for European qualification.

Fulham, however, are not letting go of their star man easily. They reportedly want at least £60 million for the Portuguese international, who has been instrumental for them since joining from Sporting CP in 2022. The 28-year-old has been one of the Premier League’s standout defensive midfielders, ranking among the top in tackles and interceptions.

West Ham’s interest in Palhinha aligns with their need for a solid midfield enforcer, especially with the club struggling for consistency this season. Talks are still in the early stages, and Fulham’s stance could make negotiations difficult.

If a deal goes through, it would be a major statement from West Ham, while Fulham would need to find a suitable replacement quickly. Fans will be watching closely as the January transfer window

heats up.
