WEST HAM ANALYSIS: WHY 33-GOAL PROMISE DAVID IS THE PERFECT FüLLKRUG REPLACEMENT
West Ham are pushing to sign Canadian striker Promise David in a £17m January deal. The 6ft 4in forward is a key target to solve their centre-forward issues.
West Ham seems to be moving fast before January, with reports saying their main target is Promise David, a 24-year-old Canadian forward.
Earlier this week, there were claims that West Ham asked about the striker before the winter window. Now, TeamTalk says West Ham is leading the race to sign the Union Saint-Gilloise (USG) striker.
Why West Ham wants Promise David
David has come a long way, starting his career in Estonia before succeeding in Belgium. In his first full season at USG, he scored 24 goals and was vital in helping the club end its long wait for a major win, lifting the Belgian First Division title in 24/25, their first league title since 1935.
At around 6 ft 4 in, with a strong presence and quick instincts in the box, David’s mix of strength and finishing ability makes him a good fit for the Premier League. Scouts and insiders see him as a good deal, with some calling him “the monster” because of his dominance in the penalty area.
He’s already scored nine goals this season, perhaps showing that his rise isn’t just luck but the start of something consistent.
Since joining USG, the Canadian international has scored 33 goals in 61 games, including three in seven European appearances.
How he fits West Ham’s plans and why it matters now
West Ham urgently needs to strengthen their attack. With Niclas Füllkrug likely to leave in January due to a poor return from injury and inconsistent performance, and despite Callum Wilson's recent improvements, the staff wants to add at least one more forward in January.
David’s good at aerial play, holding the ball, and scoring goals, which would give them a true centre-forward, possibly opening up space for players like Jarrod Bowen, Crysencio Summerville, and Lucas Paquetá.
The reported fee of around €20 million (about £17–18 million) is considered very cheap for a forward with Champions League experience and years left on his contract. For a club that worries about high prices, this is an easy choice.
West Ham faces competition for Promise David.
Other Premier League clubs like Wolves and Leeds United are also thinking about bidding for David.
Because of this, West Ham is trying to get in touch early before January, which makes sense if they want to secure the deal before the usual rush raises the price or David loses interest.
From our point of view, targeting David seems like the kind of smart move the club has needed in recent windows. If it goes through, West Ham would be taking a rare opportunity to invest in a young, eager striker who could finally give them what they’ve been missing: a real, reliable No. 9 up front.
£35M LOSS: ANALYZING THE COLLAPSE OF HARVEY ELLIOTT'S MANDATORY VILLA TRANSFER
Harvey Elliott's loan to Aston Villa is ending early after just six months. The mandatory £35M purchase clause is now unlikely to be activated.
Harvey Elliott's time at Aston Villa might be cut short. Just six months after joining the club, he might be leaving in January.
The attacking midfielder came from Liverpool on a season-long loan on deadline day in September.
The deal with Villa included a requirement to buy him, plus clauses about selling him later or buying him back.
But, Elliott hasn't played much since joining Villa, even though they won against other teams in the Premier League and Europe to get him.
Unai Emery said that the club is looking at what to do with the 22-year-old before the next transfer window opens next month.
This comes after Elliott didn't travel with the team for their Europa League game against Basel on Thursday.
Emery talked about Elliott's future at Villa in a press conference before a game.
He said, We're talking with him about his situation.
He's not with us. We hope we can find the best solution for him and for us.
I respect him as a player and as a person. He's training well, but there's a situation with him.
Hopefully, we can find a solution for him to play often and continue his career, either with us or somewhere else.
Elliott has played in only five games for Villa since joining, scoring once.
His last game was a short four-minute appearance against Feyenoord in the Europa League in October.
He hasn't been in the squad for any of Villa's last seven Premier League games.
Emery added, I've spoken with him two or three times about the situation.
First, my decision and also the situation. He's on loan with us, but he's not really contributing to us with a permanent contract.
This is a setback for Liverpool.
Liverpool was supposed to get £35 million when Elliott's loan to Villa became a permanent deal.
But the requirement to buy him kicks in only if he plays in 10 games for the club.
So, the Reds will likely miss out on that money this summer since he's only played about half that many games.
If Elliott leaves Villa, he'll likely have to return to Anfield in January.
The former England under-21 player played twice for Liverpool this season before being loaned out.
FIFA rules say players can only play for two clubs in one season.
Elliott could get around this rule by joining a club in a league that runs from summer to winter, like those in the MLS.
BUNDESLIGA STAR: ANALYZING NATHANIEL BROWN'S FIT FOR TOTTENHAM'S DEFENSE
An analytical look at Nathaniel Brown's Bundesliga performance shows why he is a top target for Spurs. Can they beat out three major rivals for the defender?
According to a recent report from journalist Dean Jones, Tottenham Hotspur will have a tough time signing Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Nathaniel Brown. Spurs will have to compete with Manchester City, West Ham United, Manchester United, and Arsenal to get the German defender next year.
Brown has played well on Frankfurt’s left side this season. The 22-year-old has one goal and four assists in 20 games for the German club in all competitions.
The German player has shown he can defend well, with 30 tackles, 15 blocks, ten interceptions, and 16 clearances in the Bundesliga. He also passes the ball well from the left, with an 81.3% pass success rate in the German top league (stats via fbref.com).
His contract with the German club ends in the summer of 2030, so it won’t be easy for Tottenham to sign him next year.
Should Tottenham Hotspur Manager Thomas Frank Sign Brown?
Brown is a good tackler and times his challenges well to win the ball back. He clears the ball when the other team is attacking and is also a good passer.
The German player can score and assist goals from the left. Brown is mainly a left-back but can also play as a left-sided midfielder if needed. We’ll see if he can handle the Premier League’s physicality and intensity if Spurs sign him next year.
Brown would make Tottenham manager Thomas Frank’s defence better and deeper. He could earn a regular spot in the first team at the North London club in the years ahead.
At 22, Brown could become a star in English soccer if he keeps improving each season. Overall, Frank should sign him in 2026.
