Brentford want to sign Hull City winger Keane Lewis-Potter ahead of West Ham
Brentford are reportedly hoping to sign Hull City winger Keane Lewis-Potter ahead of West Ham in the summer window.
According to 90Min, both clubs have been intent on signing the English under-21 international, but the Bees are now understood to be ramping up their interests.
Brighton, Southampton and Wolves are among other sides to have looked at the 21-year-old over the past few months.
Good enough?
Every player that West Ham eye from the Championship is going to be compared to Jarrod Bowen.
However, many fail to consider the amount Said Benrahama was signed for and he was recognised as one of the best attackers in the second division.
His move to the London Stadium has not worked out and there’s little guarantee that Lewis-Potter will be a good signing.
He’s bagged 12 goals and three assists this season in the Championship and he’s still very young so the Hammers can take a punt on securing his services.
However, they must not overpay and expect instant results from him as players take time to adapt to the Premier League.
The Hammers undoubtedly need backup wingers this summer so the Englishman must continue to be an option because he’s eventually going to be snapped up by a top flight club.
