Tomas Soucek of West Ham United celebrates with teammates after scoring the team's fifth goal during the Sky Bet Championship match between Lincoln City and West Ham United at the Gelder Group Sincil Bank Stadium in Lincoln, on October 14, 2026.

The boss only wanted to work with players ‘100 per cent’ committed to a season in the second-tier. Todibo didn’t exactly seem like he had his heart in it when playing top-flight football, so it’s hard to imagine him throwing his body on the line to protect a midweek win at Bolton Wanderers.

Hammers News have already confirmed that another of their loaned-out legion Niclas Fullkrug will not be rejoining Nuno’s ranks in early-2027.

Fullkrug has been a man reborn at Werder Bremen, topping the Bundesliga scoring charts with six goals in six games. West Ham do not have a re-call clause at their disposal and, even if they did, Nuno would not trigger it.
