According to the British press, Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce is about to sign a loan with an unknown star at West Ham with the optional purchase clause at the end of the season.
Even transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that Fenerbahce will recruit Eddson Alvarez on loan until the end of the season; There is also the term purchase. The Italian journalist also added that midfielder West Ham will fly to Türkiye today (Thursday) for medical examination.
West Ham spent £ 35 million to recruit Mexican players just two years ago. But it seems that Eddson Alvarez is not in the plan of head coach Graham Potter at The Hammers. Romano emphasized that Mourinho was the one who actively monitored and gave comments to Fenerbahce to bring Alvarez to the Super Lig team. And that played an important role in this potential transfer.
The midfield of The Hammers is very old and slow compared to the rookie who has just promoted Sunderland in a 0-3 loss last weekend in the 2025/26 Premier League match, and it seems that Alvarez is not a solution for those problems.
Since moving to West Ham from Ajax, the 27 -year -old has scored two goals and has three assists after 73 appearances in all competitions. He mainly played as a defensive midfielder, but was also used in the central midfielder and once in the center -back position when the London team lacked human resources in those areas.
With Alvarez going to Türkiye to continue her career, it is unclear whether Potter's West Ham has signed a contract with a new defensive midfielder or another player before the summer transfer end ends on September 1.
