West Ham has shown interest in Dário Essugo, who is currently on loan at Las Palmas until the season concludes. The 19-year-old midfielder has caught the attention of several top clubs, including Chelsea, Dortmund, and Real Sociedad. Reports suggest that Chelsea is nearing an agreement with Sporting for Essugo's transfer, potentially worth around 25 million euros, yet West Ham remains eager to secure the young player's services. Essugo is contracted with Sporting until June 2027, with a release clause set at 45 million euros; however, it appears unlikely that he will see out this contract as a transfer is anticipated by the season's end. He has already made a notable impact at Las Palmas, participating in 14 matches and scoring once.
