West Ham United Ready to Shatter Transfer Record with 2026 January Move for Albert Tjåland
West Ham United are preparing a bold and ambitious move ahead of the January 2026 transfer window, with the club ready to break its transfer record in a bid to secure Premier League survival.

Breaking: The Hammers have submitted a huge bid for highly prolific Norwegian striker Albert Tjåland, the cousin of Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland. Tjåland has been in sensational form for Rosseland BK, scoring an astonishing 64 goals in just 37 games, a return that has placed him firmly on the radar of top English clubs.

Chelsea are also monitoring the striker closely and are understood to be weighing up a move. However, West Ham have moved decisively and are the first club to formally submit a bid, underlining their urgency and determination ahead of a crucial second half of the season.
With relegation fears looming, the West Ham board is fully backing the recruitment team to act aggressively in January 2026. The club believes adding a natural, ruthless goalscorer could be the key difference in their fight to remain in the Premier League.

Tjåland’s explosive pace, physical strength, and clinical finishing have inevitably drawn comparisons with his famous cousin, but West Ham see him as a striker capable of making an immediate impact rather than a long-term project.
As the countdown to the 2026 January window begins, West Ham supporters will be hoping this record-breaking move can provide the firepower needed to turn their season around.
