As Simon touched on in the post below, Walker-Peters was very close to joining Turkish side Besiktas.

And they haven't taken too kindly to it all.

They released a statement on the situation yesterday evening.

It read: "It is publicly known that the arrival of Kyle Walker-Peters, with whom we previously announced an agreement in principle and invited him to Istanbul for a medical examination, has been postponed.

"Today, Kyle Walker-Peters notified us, requesting an extension.

"Consequently, our club has withdrawn its transfer.

"Our club continues its transfer efforts in accordance with its established policy."

West Ham have agreed personal terms with Kyle Walker-Peters on a free transfer following the full-back's exit from Southampton.

The 28-year-old England international left the Saints, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, after the expiry of his contract at St Mary's.

He was on the verge of joining Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Besiktas but the Turkish club said they were walking away from the transfer on Thursday after the defender delayed his medical following interest from the Hammers.

Walker-Peters, who has two England caps, made 202 appearances for Southampton and scored six goals during his time there.

After initially joining on loan from Tottenham, he signed a permanent contract in 2020.

He played 43 league games in 2023-24 as the Saints were promoted to the Premier League, and 35 during the 2024-25 season, providing two top-flight assists.

West Ham, who finished 14th last season, signed Senegal defender El Hadji Malick Diouf from Slavia Prague for £19m this week and also made Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo's loan move permanent.

Manchester City have completed the signing of 18-year-old midfielder Sverre Nypan from Rosenborg for £12.5m on a five-year deal.

Teenager Nypan has represented his country at youth levels up to and including under-21s, and it is expected he will go on a season-long loan for the 2025-26 campaign.

It is understood that, if a loan is not arranged before the players return for pre-season on 28 July, he will train with Pep Guardiola's first team.

"It's a dream for any young footballer to become part of this club and to join such a group of world class talent," said Nypan.

"I am still very young with a lot to learn but the chance to be coached by Pep Guardiola, the best manager in the world, will only help me to become a better player."
