It’s all go at West Ham United right now, with the January transfer window open for business.

West Ham are closing in on four new signings as beleaguered boss Nuno Espirito Santo looks to turn around his fortunes at the London Stadium.

The 2025/26 Premier League season has been a disastrous one so far for the Hammers.

After Graham Potter was sacked back in September, Nuno came in to replace him, but as things stand, he has still been unable to successfully imprint his style on the West Ham squad.

The Hammers have racked up just 14 points at the halfway stage of the season and are currently four points adrift of safety.

Something needs to change, and fast.

Nuno previously insisted he would focus on transfers when the window opened, but it seems like the Hammers board have been working diligently behind the scenes.

Pablo, Adama Traore and Valentin Castellanos are all said to be close to joining West Ham.

And now Charlie Cresswell is back on the West Ham radar, after Hammers News exclusively broke news of Nuno’s interest in the centre-back last month.

With so many incomings, it will be no surprise to see a player or two leave the London Stadium this winter.

Former Tottenham star could push Juventus towards Guido Rodriguez

Guido Rodriguez has proven to be painfully ill-suited to Premier League football during his time with West Ham.

Espanyol were priced out of a move to sign Rodriguez in the summer, but his potential exit from East London seems to be drawing ever closer.

Every West Ham fan should be seriously excited about the latest news coming out of Italy.

According to a report from Tuttomercatoweb, Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti is ‘obsessed’ with the idea of signing Marseille midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

However, there is a big problem for the Juve boss. A deal for the former Tottenham Hotspur man is proving to be very difficult to get over the line.

As a result, Juventus may explore the easier option of signing Guido Rodriguez from West Ham in January.

What a boost it would be for the Hammers if we could get a decent fee for a player who has proven to be simply not worthy of wearing the shirt.

And having a former Tottenham player helping us out by not joining Juventus would make it even sweeter!

The sooner Guido Rodriguez leaves West Ham, the better

The Hammers squad will be in a much better place when the former Real Betis man makes his way out of the club, and indeed, financially

We all know that the 31-year-old Argentine has been really poor since moving to the London Stadium on a free transfer from Real Betis in the summer of 2024.

Rodriguez has made 30 appearances for the Hammers, failing to score a single goal and registering just one assist.

He has also failed to influence more than two or three games positively during his time in East London.

Former West Ham midfielder Don Hutchison ripped into Rodriguez on ESPN last year after our defeat to Tottenham:

“Their midfield was awful today, West Ham. I mean, there’s no legs in that midfield,” he said.

“Guido Rodriguez can’t really move, Tomas Soucek is a box-to-box player but he’s not leggy in terms of getting round the pitch and stopping things.

“And [Lucas] Paqueta has one of those days where he’s good on the ball, but doesn’t want to track back.”

West Ham are being highly ambitious with their £10 million asking price (Give Me Sport) for the midfielder.

However, his skillset may well be more suited to the more pedestrian-paced Italian league.

Even if the Hammers manage to recoup around £3-5 million for him, it would be a very good deal for the club.
