Endrick (Real Madrid)
November 2025

Endrick is frustrated by a lack of chances under Xabi Alonso after just 11 La Liga minutes this season, following a seven goal debut campaign, and is considering a move to kick start his development away from a crowded attack led by Gonzalo Garcia and Kylian Mbappe. Don Hutchison told Sportscasting he would endorse West Ham signing the powerful 19 year old but suggested a short La Liga loan, at a club where he can start weekly, might better rebuild confidence, fitness and output before any long term Premier League or Real Madrid return.

November 2025

West Ham have made a firm approach to take Mainoo on loan, offering guaranteed minutes as the 20-year-old seeks regular football to protect his England World Cup prospects. United blocked a summer loan despite a limited role under Ruben Amorim. Amorim’s rigid 3-4-3 and one-game weeks have squeezed rotation. Mainoo has eight appearances, one start (Grimsby, Carabao Cup). Fabrizio Romano reports the player now favours a winter move; United must weigh squad depth against his development needs.

West Ham beat Newcastle 3-1, ending a nine-month home drought and delivering Espírito Santo’s first win, lifting them to 18th. Lucas Paquetá equalized, Sven Botman scored an own goal, and Tomáš Souček sealed it in stoppage time. West Ham sustained pressure after Jacob Murphy’s opener, attacked early crosses, and exploited transition turnovers. VAR reversed a first-half penalty after Malick Thiaw’s touch. Late game management improved, with second-ball wins and compact spacing protecting the lead. Gap to 17th cut to three points.

Flamengo are mounting an ambitious push to re-sign academy graduate Lucas Paquetá, with sporting director José Boto in contact with his camp. The Brazilian club believe they can finance a permanent deal and bring the midfielder home after his clearing of a long-running betting-allegation case.
Paquetá, frustrated by West Ham’s lack of progress, is open to a move that restores top-level competition ahead of the 2026 World Cup. While Flamengo see him as a marquee signing, Premier League rivals Aston Villa and Tottenham may yet intervene. The player’s legal team is considering action against the FA for reputational damage caused by the dropped charges.

Aston Villa are on the verge of signing Lucas Paquetá on loan with obligation to buy in a £47m package. The Brazilian midfielder has accepted the move, leaving West Ham under pressure amid their poor start to the season.
