West Ham Summer Transfer Window ⚒️💷 West Ham’s summer transfer business is almost over and once again, there’s 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. Here’s what a 2% move in the pound could mean across West Ham’s international summer sales. 💷 🔴 Summer Sales Freddie POTTS (Club Brugge) - 4th August 2026 💰 Reported fee: £10m 🌍 FX rate: GBP / EUR = 1.1673 💶 Equivalent value: €11.673m 📉 2% GBP depreciation impact: +£204,100 Crysencio SUMMERVILLE (Al Hilal) - 24th July 2026 💰 Reported fee: £60m 🌍 FX rate: GBP / SAR = 4.9991 🇸🇦 Equivalent value: SAR 299.946m 📉 2% GBP depreciation impact: +£1,224,500 Across just these two deals, a 2% movement in the pound would represent around £1.43m 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. Brought to you by @NewbridgeFX - proud partners of @WestHamWayCom

Currency markets have opened the week with attention focused on US inflation data, geopolitical developments, and changing expectations around interest rates. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 GBP/USD GBP/USD has eased from the highs reached at the end of last week, with renewed demand for the US dollar following developments in the Middle East. Last week’s weaker US employment figures had reduced expectations of an imminent change in Federal Reserve policy and contributed to a softer dollar. Attention now turns to US inflation data on Wednesday, which may provide further insight into the outlook for interest rates. With limited UK data scheduled this week, sterling is also likely to remain sensitive to wider market developments and expectations surrounding future Bank of England policy. 🇪🇺🇺🇸 EUR/USD EUR/USD strengthened through last week as weaker US employment figures placed pressure on the dollar. The pair has since remained close to its recent highs, although renewed geopolitical uncertainty has influenced sentiment at the start of this week. The European Central Bank left interest rates unchanged at its latest meeting, while markets continue to assess the outlook for future policy. This week’s US inflation figures will be a key focus as markets reassess expectations for the Federal Reserve. 🇬🇧🇪🇺 GBP/EUR GBP/EUR has moved slightly lower from recent levels, with last week’s weakness in the US dollar providing greater support to the euro than sterling. Both the Bank of England and European Central Bank kept rates unchanged at their latest meetings. With limited UK and Eurozone data this week, movement in the pair is likely to remain influenced by changing interest rate expectations, energy prices, and wider geopolitical developments. 📊 Rates at 10:00am this morning: • GBP / USD – 1.3503 • EUR / USD – 1.1561 • GBP / EUR – 1.1678 Rates correct as of 10:00am on Monday 10 August but may now have changed.

Crysencio Summerville has left West Ham after Al Hilal completed the signing of the Netherlands international in a deal worth £60 million. ⚒️➡️🇸🇦 The Dutch winger departs East London in a deal worth £60 million. But what does that look like in Saudi Riyal? 🇸🇦 £60million = SAR 299.9m (At a GBP / SAR rate of 4.9991) While the headline fee is agreed in pounds, the amount Al Hilal ultimately pays in Saudi Riyal is influenced by the GBP / SAR exchange rate at the point the funds are exchanged. If Al Hilal wanted to remove that uncertainty, they could have locked in Friday's GBP / SAR rate using a forward contract, securing the full SAR 299.9m in advance and protecting themselves against any exchange rate movement before the transfer is completed.
