West Ham United have entered a four-way scramble for Marcel Regula, the Polish attacking midfielder attracting serious interest from clubs across Europe. Continental sides are circling the 19-year-old, and the Hammers now find themselves in direct competition for his signature.
Four Clubs Chase Zaglebie Lubin’s Rising Talent
According to Polish outlet Sportowy, Regula is drawing attention from at least four clubs, with West Ham United among the suitors chasing his signature. The playmaker plies his trade for Zaglebie Lubin, and reports suggest he came close to leaving the Polish side during the summer transfer window.
The report claims Regula nearly completed a move to Borussia Dortmund on deadline day, though the transfer ultimately collapsed before it could be finalised.
Dortmund Keep Tabs Despite Nwaneri Loan
Dortmund instead moved for Arsenal talent Ethan Nwaneri on loan, but that switch has not ended their interest in Regula. There is no certainty the Gunners will sanction a permanent stay for Nwaneri beyond this season, leaving the door open for the Bundesliga club to revisit a move for the Polish teenager in a future window.
Eintracht Frankfurt and Benfica Also Circling
Eintracht Frankfurt are reportedly keen on Regula as well, while Benfica have held talks over a potential future deal. Lubin are said to be seeking a fee between €15 million and €17 million, a figure unlikely to deter clubs from England, including West Ham.

West Ham Weigh Up January Approach
Regula has options across the continent, but the growing interest from England adds another layer to his decision. West Ham could move for the 19-year-old as early as January, viewing him as a possible answer to their shortage of quality in the attacking-midfield role.
The Hammers are pushing for automatic promotion back to the Premier League and see recruitment in this area as a priority. A €15 million to €17 million valuation sits comfortably within their budget, matching what several rivals across Europe can also afford.
That financial parity among suitors means Regula’s next move may hinge less on fee negotiations and more on his own ambitions. Whichever path he chooses, West Ham’s involvement signals the growing reach of Championship clubs in competing for continental talent.
