West Ham defender Amber Tysiak is reportedly closing in on a transfer to German side Union Berlin. The 25-year-old, who has made nearly 50 appearances for West Ham since joining the club in 2023, was not included in Sunday's squad against Chelsea. With her contract set to run until 2028, Tysiak will likely command a significant fee from Union Berlin - believed to be £150,000 plus potential add-ons.
The move could also provide an opportunity for Union Berlin to strengthen their team ahead of the second half of the season in Germany's top women's division. The club went professional in 2023 and achieved back-to-back promotions to reach the Frauen-Bundesliga for the first time last year, finishing ninth in the table.
In contrast, West Ham is set to receive a significant selling fee from England defender Anouk Denton, who is joining Bay FC on a deal worth up to £200,000. The record-breaking transfer will be seen as a major blow to West Ham's squad depth ahead of the final stages of the season in the Women's Super League.
It remains to be seen whether Union Berlin can secure Tysiak's services and make a successful push for promotion in Germany's top women's division.
