West Ham news: Irons interested in shock January move for Real Madrid outcast Endrick
West Ham United have reportedly set their sights on an ambitious move for out-of-favour Real Madrid star Endrick.
The Hammers have endured a dismal start to their Premier League campaign, having won just one of their seven matches.
Sitting in 19th place with just four points, Graham Potter was dismissed ahead of the East Londoners’ 1-1 draw with Everton.
Former Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo, who has already been sacked once this season, took over the hot seat at the London Stadium.
However, the 51-year-old is yet to turn the Irons’ fortunes around, with a point against the Toffees followed by defeat to now league leaders Arsenal.

Reinforcements needed
It is safe to say that West Ham’s summer transfer dealings have had mixed reactions.
While the likes of El Hadji Malick Diouf and Matheus Fernandes have both looked promising, Mads Hermansen and Callum Wilson have not covered themselves in glory.
So, it seems inevitable that the Hammers will look to the transfer market once again in January, especially with a new man at the helm.

Endrick linked with West Ham
According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, West Ham are interested in bringing Real Madrid’s Endrick to the London Stadium.
The Irons are thought to have already contacted Real over a January loan deal for the Brazilian wonderkid.
That being said, the East Londoners face hefty competition for the 19-year-old’s signature, with Real Sociedad and Valencia also understood to be keen.
Endrick, who moved to the Spanish capital from Brazilian outfit Palmerias in 2024 for £51 million, has struggled to get on the pitch this season.
While sidelined for a short time in August with a thigh injury, the Brazilian international is yet to make a single appearance for Madrid under Xabi Alonso.
With that in mind, it would surely be best for both parties for a temporary move away.
