West Ham United have reportedly made contact with Leeds United to discuss a potential deal for Tyler Adams during this summer’s transfer window.
The Hammers are on the verge of selling Declan Rice to Arsenal in a £105m deal, so there will be money available to bring in new players ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.
Adams’s future has been the subject of much speculation, with the United States international unlikely to remain at Elland Road following the club’s relegation to the Championship
Manchester United have been credited with an interest in the midfielder, but according to the Yorkshire Evening Post, West Ham have been in touch with Leeds to discuss a summer deal.
The 24-year-old arrived at Leeds from RB Leipzig last summer, and he made 26 appearances for the Whites during the 2022-23 campaign, missing a chunk of the season due to injury
Meanwhile, Everton have reportedly offered Mason Holgate to a number of Premier League clubs during this summer’s transfer window, with the Toffees keen to reduce their wage bill.
According to Football Insider, rival clubs have been contacted over the loan availability of Holgate, who is not in the plans of the Merseyside outfit’s head coach Sean Dyche for next season.
The report claims that Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest are showing an interest, but his wages are set to increase to £72,000 a week this summer, which could make it difficult for the two clubs to sign him.
Holgate made the move to Everton from Barnsley in 2015, and he has represented the Toffees on 149 occasions in all competitions, scoring five times in the process.
The versatile defender found it difficult to secure regular action last term, though, being restricted to just nine appearances in all competitions.
Sticking with Everton and their search to bring in a new centre-forward this summer, the club have reportedly confirmed their intention to pay the release clause of Almeria forward El Bilal Toure.
According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Everton are willing to part with the €40m (£34m) required to sign the striker this summer, although they want to pay the buy-out fee in three or four instalments.
Fulham are also being heavily linked with the Mali international, with Almeria unlikely to be able to keep hold of him during this summer’s transfer window.
The 21-year-old made the move to his current team from Reims last summer, and he scored seven goals and registered two assists in 22 appearances at club level during the 2022-23 campaign.
Meanwhile, according to The Sun, West Ham are interested in signing Universidad de Chile attacker Dario Osorio during the summer market.
The report claims that the Hammers are preparing to make an offer of around £7.5m for the 19-year-old, who has also been linked with a switch to AC Milan.
Universidad de Chile are believed to be willing to sell the youngster for the right price this summer, and Wolverhampton Wanderers are also thought to be keeping a close eye on the situation.
Osorio, who has been capped on three occasions by Chile, has scored nine goals in 44 appearances for his current side in all competitions.
