Sunderland block the door to Isidor
West Ham have asked to take Sunderland winger Simon Adingra on loan, but the Wearsiders have no plans to sell forward Wilson Isidor.
West Ham have asked about both players but after initial conversations Sunderland have made it clear that they want to keep Haiti international Isidor.
Discussions are ongoing between the clubs over a straight loan for 24-year-old Ivory Coast international Adingra.
Despite interest from a host of clubs, however, Sunderland will not entertain offers for Isidor. The 25-year-old remains an integral part of their squad ahead of their season in European competition and the club believe he can build on an excellent World Cup with Haiti.
West Ham are continuing to discuss AZ Alkmaar striker Troy Parrott while Lazio are interested in the Hammers’ German international forward Niclas Fullkrug.

Como agree £26m Chalobah deal… as Napoli eye Badiashile
Chelsea and Como have agreed a £26million fee for defender Trevoh Chalobah.
The deal will include a further £5.2m in add-ons for the 27-year-old England centre-back who is expected to travel to Italy on Wednesday evening.
Chelsea defender Benoit Badiashile continues to attract interest from Napoli. The Blues are looking to recoup funds for the French centre-back as well as for Axel Disasi who has been the subject of talks with Crystal Palace and West Ham – both are discussing offers.
Disasi had a spell on loan at West Ham last season but ideally wants a top flight offer.
Chelsea hope to make progress with Rayo Vallecano over the purchase of left wing-back Pep Chavarria.

Bernardo gets shirty at Real
Bernardo Silva has arrived at Real Madrid as he joins up with Jose Mourinho’s side. The 31-year-old left Manchester City at the end of last season.
The Portugal star, who has returned from the World Cup, was seen signing shirts for fans after medical tests.
Man United would loan out Chido Obi for game time
Manchester United are willing to send striker Chido Obi Martin out on loan this summer.
The 18-year-old Denmark U21 international had interest from Cologne earlier in the window, but they have moved to sign Jaiden Heskey from Manchester City and are lining up Tottenham winger Mikey Moore.
Chido Obi joined United from Arsenal’s academy in 2024 and has made seven first-team appearances though failed to score.
United want to ensure his next club is one where he can develop properly with competitive game time.
Join the queue for Everton’s Tim
Everton midfielder Tim Iroegbunam is attracting increasing interest from rival Premier League clubs and from abroad.
Coventry City, Hull City and Ipswich Town have all made enquiries while two Italian clubs have also asked about the 23-year-old.
Lazio tried to sign the former England U20 international in January.
Everton are continuing to discuss a deal for Arsenal’s Christian Norgaard which, if completed, could pave the way for Iroegbunam to depart once a suitable offer comes in.
Everton paid around £9million to Aston Villa for Iroegbunam in 2024.
Tim Iroegbunam joined from Aston Villa two years ago
