It looks like West Ham United is in for a tough season after they lost 3-0 to Sunderland last weekend.
One player who was left on the bench in that game, Edson Alvarez, looks set to complete a transfer to Fenerbahce.
The Hammers are targeting a midfield replacement for the Mexican. Tim Vickery told Sky Sports, "There’s been interest from West Ham," when talking about Chelsea's Andrey Santos.
Should Andrey Santos leave Chelsea for West Ham?
Santos has been with Chelsea since 2023, but has only played five times for the club. Four of those appearances were at the Club World Cup this summer.

He has been sent on loan to his former club, Vasco da Gama, Nottingham Forest, and Chelsea's sister club, Strasbourg.
The challenge Santos has at Stamford Bridge is that he is competing with Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez for a starting place.
Santos made a substitute appearance in Chelsea's draw with Crystal Palace last Sunday, but he cannot expect any more than a bit-part role in Enzo Maresca's squad.
