West Ham United are set to sign former Manchester United player Ethan Galbraith.
What happened?
The Hammers are preparing for a major rebuild following their relegation to the Championship. Currently sidelined: L. Fabianski, A. Traore.
Why it matters for West Ham United
West Ham need to raise £100 million through sales, which may force them to sell key players like Mateus Fernandes. Ethan Galbraith has rebuilt his career in England's lower leagues since leaving Manchester United in 2023.
What comes next?
Galbraith enjoyed an encouraging maiden season with Swansea City, making 39 appearances in the Championship. West Ham are keen on signing him, perhaps in anticipation of Fernandes moving to a top-flight club. | Player | Status | | Mateus Fernandes | Expected to leave | | Ethan Galbraith | Target for West Ham |
