Fulham winger Traore set for West Ham move

West Ham are set to sign Fulham winger Adama Traore on a permanent deal, with the move subject to a medical.

The 30‑year‑old is close to a reported £2m switch from west to east London, where he will be reunited with Nuno Espirito Santo, who managed him at Wolves.

Capped eight times by Spain, Traore has made just two Premier League starts for Fulham this season and was not involved in their most recent 2–1 win at home to Brighton on Saturday.

Having started his career at Barcelona, Traore had spells at Aston Villa, Middlesbrough and Wolves before joining Fulham in 2023 on a free transfer.

West Ham have been among the most active teams in the January transfer window, signing forwards Pablo Felipe from Gil Vicente for £20m and Taty Castellanos from Lazio for £25.2m.

They are also in talks to sell midfielder Lucas Paqueta to Flamengo, having already sold Guido Rodriguez to Valencia and Luis Guilherme to Sporting, while German Niclas Fullkrug has joined AC Milan on loan.
