Transfer news and rumours today: West Ham 'exit', Bournemouth's next signing, Leeds United attacking tagret

West Ham United midfielder Freddie Potts has been given permission to undergo a medical with Club Brugge, the latest report has claimed.

The summer window of 2026 has been one of significant change for the Hammers ahead of their season in the Championship.

The likes of Mateus Fernandes and Crysencio Summerville left for significant amounts, and the income that the Londoners received will be important in their quest to avoid potential penalties after suffering relegation from the Premier League.

Transfer journalist Ben Jacobs has now claimed that midfielder Potts has been given permission to undergo a medical ahead of a £10m move to the Belgian side.
