Football Transfers EXCLUSIVE: West Ham track Edouard as Fornals pushed towards exit Steve Kay West Ham are exploring the possibility of a January transfer move for Crystal Palace forward Odsonne Edouard while Pablo Fornals could leave David Moyes‚Äô side, FootballTransfers can exclusively reveal. The Hammers have injury concerns over striker Michail Antonio, and while manager Moyes has suggested the 33-year-old could be back by Christmas, the forward‚Äôs form has been such that the London side were considering dipping into the transfer market in any case. Edouard is one possibility that is being seriously explored, with Crystal Palace open to a departure for the former Celtic forward. FootballTransfers has been told that the deal could either be a loan or permanent, although there is no indication yet how much West Ham are prepared to spend on the forward. Edouard joined Palace in 2021 from Celtic for ‚Ǩ16.3 million and the 25-year-old has a contract that runs until 2025. Unless a new deal is agreed before the summer, Roy Hodgson‚Äôs side face the prospect of losing him for nothing. His current Expected Transfer Value is ‚Ǩ14.9m, down from a peak of ‚Ǩ21.7m. As Palace‚Äôs front-line striker, he has scored five Premier League goals this season, though only one since mid-September. Edouard joins a shortlist that already includes PSG's Hugo Ekitike and Bayern Munich's Joshua Zirkzee. All are vying to join West Ham as a direct replacement for Antonio, who has been unsettled since the summer, when the club closed the door on a possible transfer to the Saudi Pro League to him. West Ham open to Fornals transfer West Ham could also offload versatile midfielder Pablo Fornals this January, FootballTransfers has been informed. Sevilla and Fulham hold an interest in the player. The 27-year-old, who has been capped six times by Spain, has been a largely peripheral figure for David Moyes‚Äô side this season. He has played only 167 Premier League minutes, more than half of which came on the opening day of the season in a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth. Although he has been regularly used in the club‚Äôs Europa League challenge, the path is clear for the former Villarreal and Malaga man to depart. HITC West Ham now eye transfer for ‚Äòcomplete‚Äô ¬£13m relegation-threatened defender Kyle Archer West Ham United are monitoring Jordan Beyer ahead of the January transfer market and could offer the defender his escape route from Burnley as they battle relegation. That is according to talkSPORT, which reports that Burnley expect clubs will target a transfer for Beyer next month. The 23-year-old has been a rare bright spark at Turf Moor during the Clarets‚Äô difficult return to the Premier League with his form getting interest from West Ham. London Stadium chiefs are not alone in admiring the German, however, with a further batch of top-flight teams on alert. Crystal Palace and Fulham are also tracking the 6 ft 2 enforcer in view of a mid-season move. Beyer is also on the radar of a clutch of teams in the Bundesliga. Beyer has featured in nine of Burnley‚Äôs 13 Premier League games so far this season ahead of hosting Sheffield United. Boss Vincent Kompany was without the ex-Germany U21 talent for three games in October with a muscle injury. He also missed one earlier game with an injury. The defender is an essential part of Kompany‚Äôs squad when fit and often stands out, despite Burnley‚Äôs struggles. So, the Clarets expect teams will look to offer Beyer an escape route this winter. After 13 games, the Turf Moor side are bottom of the Premier League on four points. Vincent Kompany believes Jordan Beyer is a ‚Äòcomplete‚Äô defender Burnley have produced one of the Premier League‚Äôs worst defensive records over 13 games after conceding 32 times. Only Sheffield United (34) have let in more goals than Kompany‚Äôs Clarets. The Turf Moor natives have allowed 23 of those 32 goals with Beyer in their line-up. Yet West Ham will potentially look to rival Crystal Palace and Fulham for Beyer‚Äôs transfer this January. Burnley can point to Beyer signing a contract to June 2027 this July if a side targets him, though. The German agreed to a long-term deal to seal a permanent transfer for ¬£13m. Beyer originally joined Burnley on loan from Borussia Monchengladbach in September 2022. He would feature 30 times in the Championship to help the Clarets clinch the title. Kompany also hailed the German last season, believing Beyer was proving to be a ‚Äòcomplete‚Äô defender ‚ÄúHe wins his headers, he manages his distances well, his reading and understanding of the game has improved a lot and you can add on top of that what he shows every weekend on the ball,‚Äù he said in January, via Lancs Live. ‚ÄúHe has developed into a complete centre-half.‚Äù TeamTalk West Ham, Palace, Leicester join hunt for Sam Greenwood as Leeds loanee makes decision on permanent Boro stay James Marshment TEAMtalk has learned from sources that Middlesbrough already know that without promotion they will find it hard to hold on to loan sensation Sam Greenwood beyond this season. The 21-year-old moved to Teesside on transfer deadline day after Leeds boss Daniel Farke decided the former Arsenal youngster was surplus to requirements. And even though Greenwood had clocked up 25 appearances for the Whites during their time in the Premier League, the England U21 star was told clearly that his game-time would be limited it he hung around at Elland Road. However, the move to the Riverside has worked out beautifully for Greenwood, who has been the star man for Boro with four goals and two assists from 13 appearances so far. As part of that season-loan deal with Middlesbrough, Michael Carrick‚Äôs side were able to seal an option to make the deal permanent for just ¬£1.5m. However, as with any such deal, a move is fully dependent on the player agreeing to the move. Greenwood‚Äôs form has seen him become an integral part of Carrick‚Äôs side, with his sublime free-kick goal against Leicester recently among his strikes to catch the eye. But the form of the player, who is a rare breed in that he is bipedal, has also seen a number of other sides pay close attention. And we understand that West Ham, Crystal Palace, Brentford, Fulham, Leicester and Southampton have all been keeping tabs on Greenwood‚Äôs progress in the North-East."

Cheers…
