<\/p>\n<p> Sat 30 August 2025 20:40, UK <\/p>\n<p>Andy Irving\u2019s move from West Ham to Wrexham could come crashing down despite strong interest.<\/p>\n<p><a

West Ham<\/a>, and it was assumed that he would put an end to his London Stadium career this summer.<\/p>\n<p>The Scottish international joined the Hammers from Austria Klagenfurt in 2023 and cost around \u00a31.5million. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhamzone.com\/tag\/andy-irving\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Irving<\/a> has had an unconventional professional career and looked set to head to Wales for a stint in his fourth different country, but updates from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhamzone.com\/club\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">West

still pushing for a move away<\/a>, and Edson Alvarez has joined Fenerbahce on loan, leaving the Hammers short in the middle of the park.<\/p>\n<p>The signings of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhamzone.com\/tag\/mateus-fernandes\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mateus Fernandes<\/a> and Soungoutou Magassa will relieve their woes, and should Irving leave, the Irons won\u2019t be concerned about his absence.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old has become known for his professionalism in East London, but has made just 12 competitive appearances for the Irons.<\/p>\n<p>Wrexham are owned by billionaire owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenneyIrving is on just \u00a35,000 a week for West Ham, according to <a

Fullkrug\u2019s \u00a327million move to West Ham<\/a> is perhaps the most bizarre of any of their incomings, with the 32-year-old struggling for form and fitness since leaving Dortmund.<\/p>\n<p>Irving\u2019s move from Austrian second division side Austria Klagenfurt is also up there.<\/p>\n<p>The Scotland international only had experience in the Scottish Premiership and
