West Ham Summer Transfer Window โ๏ธ๐ท
West Hamโs summer transfer business is almost over and once again, thereโs an FX side to the story.
With players moving from East London to clubs overseas, even a small movement in the currency markets can have a significant impact on the sterling value of international transfer payments.
Hereโs what a 2% move in the pound could mean across West Hamโs international summer sales. ๐ท
๐ด Summer Sales
Freddie POTTS (Club Brugge) - 4th August 2026
๐ฐ Reported fee: ยฃ10m
๐ FX rate: GBP / EUR = 1.1673
๐ถ Equivalent value: โฌ11.673m
๐ 2% GBP depreciation impact: +ยฃ204,100
Crysencio SUMMERVILLE (Al Hilal) - 24th July 2026
๐ฐ Reported fee: ยฃ60m
๐ FX rate: GBP / SAR = 4.9991
๐ธ๐ฆ Equivalent value: SAR 299.946m
๐ 2% GBP depreciation impact: +ยฃ1,224,500
Across just these two deals, a 2% movement in the pound would represent around ยฃ1.43m in additional sterling value when converting the equivalent overseas currencies back into GBP.
The transfer fees haven't changed - the exchange rates have.
Small percentages can still lead to big numbers.
