West Ham have signed England Under-23 midfielder Sarah Brasero on a three-year deal. The 20-year-old joins from Portuguese side Estoril, having played one season in Portugal after moving from Lewes in the summer of 2024. Brasero said she is "ready to take the next step" and "play in the best league in the world" with the Women's Super League side.

The Hammers believe they can get a deal for a midfielder over the line, having identified him as a key target.

West Ham’s intent is clear: sell wisely, invest creatively, and build a young, ambitious squad under Potter’s vision. Offers are being welcomed for Nayef Aguerd, Edson Álvarez, Guido Rodríguez and Niclas Füllkrug, while reinforcements in goal, central defence, midfield, and attack are expected.
