West Ham renew reported interest in Mayenda
West Ham are reportedly interested again in Eliezer Mayenda, but the available account contains no offer.
Football Insider, citing unnamed sources, says Sunderland would consider selling the 21-year-old striker. It claims Mayenda is unhappy with his playing time after eight league starts and is open to leaving.
The outlet says several European clubs could offer him top-level football, making a move to Championship West Ham difficult. It also notes Mayenda's 10 goals and five assists in Sunderland's 2024-25 promotion campaign. No formal offer, club-to-club negotiations or agreed terms are reported. Sunderland's willingness remains hypothetical until somebody bids.
