West Ham defender Amber Tysiak is closing in on a move to German side Union Berlin.

The 25-year-old, who has made almost 50 appearances for West Ham since joining in 2023, was not involved in the squad for Sunday’s Women’s Super League game at Chelsea.

The Belgium international is under contract until 2028, so West Ham will receive a fee – believed to be £150,000 plus potential add-ons.

Union Berlin went professional in 2023 and earned back-to-back promotions to reach the Frauen-Bundesliga for the first time this year. They are ninth in the table.

Eilish McColgan set a new women’s European 10km record in Valencia – just seven days after her previous record was broken by Belgian Jana van Lent.

The 35-year-old Briton knocked three seconds off Van Lent’s time by winning the Valencia Ibercaja on Sunday in a time of 30 minutes seven seconds.

McColgan held the record for more than three years after setting a time of 30:19 in Manchester in 2022, but that was lowered to 30:10 by Van Lent in Nice on 4 January.

Before that, GB’s Paula Radcliffe held the women’s record for almost 20 years, after running a time of 30:21 in Puerto Rico in February 2003.

Sweden’s Andreas Almgren also set a new European record of 26:43 in winning the men’s event in Valencia, beating his own previous best time, which was set on the same course, by nine seconds.
