West Ham have sold defender Anouk Denton for a club record fee of £200,000 to American side Bay FC. The 22-year-old has been a key player for the Hammers since signing permanently from Arsenal in 2023, making 67 appearances. Denton became the first West Ham player to represent the Lionesses since 1996 when she made her England debut against Ghana in December. "Bay FC is an ambitious club with a clear vision, and it felt like the right place for the next step in my career," Denton said. "The NWSL is the most competitive league in the world, and I'm excited to challenge myself against top players and teams."
