West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur looking into a move for AC Milan defender Pervis Estupinan

Pervis Estupinan played for Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League

The West Ham target has been in Serie A for just one season

West Ham United may be in a precarious situation in the Premier League but it has not stopped them eyeing targets for this summer’s transfer window. Should Nuno Espirito Santo’s team stay up this season, there will be a lot of change at the Hammers, with several outgoings and more incomings.

A name that appears to be on West Ham‘s radar is AC Milan’s Pervis Estupinan. Since joining the Italian giants in the summer of 2025, the defender has struggled at the club, appearing just 19 times for the team that calls the San Siro home.

The former Brighton & Hove Albion playing could be ready to end his Milan nightmare very soon and the Hammers are one of the team’s in the hat. According to Sport Witness, Nuno’s team are not the only side with eyes on the defender, with fellow strugglers Tottenham Hotspur looking in the same direction.

Spurs and West Ham are both fighting against relegation this season but Tottenham are trying to appoint former Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi. Should they manage to convince the Italian, Estupinan will be top of their list.

Pervis Estupinan’s Premier League form

Whilst thing’s haven’t worked out for the Ecuadorian in Milan, his Premier League form is enough to understand why West Ham would be interested in the defender.

Estupinan joined the Seagulls in 2022 and went to have three strong seasons with the club as they push for Europe. A strong runner with the ball, the now 28-year-old ran the left-hand-side for the team as they climbed the table.

The Ecuadorian can play higher up the pitch and also on the right-hand-side. At 28, Estupinan is in his prime and need’s to be playing regular football. A return to the Premier League could do that and with West Ham can help them improve.

West Ham United have been nonstop attempting to change their league predicament in 2026. The Hammers began the year seven points from safety but an upturn in performances has seen the team level on points with Nottingham Forest in 17th.

Whilst Nuno Espirito Santo’s new look West Ham is built on a stout defence, a key performer for the Irons has been winger, Crysencio Summerville. The Dutchman has had his best scoring return in the Premier League this season, netting seven goals in his last ten games in all competitions.

It now appears that the 24-year-old is gaining transfer interest, particularly from Tottenham Hotspur according to TeamTalk. Spurs themselves are also in the relegation fight but with one of the two team’s having the possibility to go down, the rival team are letting their interest be known.

According to sources, the North London side looked into a move for the Summerville in the window but West Ham were unwilling to budge on their high price tag given the position of both teams.

Other team’s interested in the 24-year-old include Marseille, Napoli, Atalanta and Villarreal, with all four monitoring the attacker’s form and the Hammers league position.

Crysencio Summerville’s West Ham form

Going forward, Summerville has been West Ham’s best attacking player this season. After taking his time to adapt to life at the London Stadium last year, under Nuno, the 24-year-old is showing the same confidence he showed at former side Leeds United.

With nine goal involvements this campaign, the majority in the second-half of the season, the Dutchman is on fire for the Hammers. Summerville scored the all-important goal in the 1-0 win over Fulham and the majority of the team’s attacking moves go through him.

Summerville is definitely in the shop window right now. With the Irons difficult financial position, the 24-year-old could be on the move regardless of whether West Ham stay up or not, but being in the Premier League will definitely help the team hold out for their price on the Dutchman.

What’s next for West Ham?

West Ham head into the pivotal part of the season on the back of a huge win over Fulham. Tonight, Nuno’s team face Brentford in the FA Cup, with more of an emphasis on keeping the momentum going rather than the result itself.

After the FA Cup break, the Hammers return to the Premier League, hosting title chasing Manchester City.
