West Ham United want to sign Stoke attacker Jacob Brown, battle contract talks to begin – report
West Ham United want to sign Stoke City attacker Jacob Brown this summer, according to Football League World.
The online outlet have reported that the Scotland international is wanted by numerous clubs such as Rangers, Brentford and Burnley.
David Moyes could look to bring Brown to the London Stadium with just over 12 months on his current deal at Stoke.
It is shared that Stoke want to kickstart new contract talks imminently in order to bat away the inevitable interest coming their way.
Despite that, the Potters are in a position where a tempting offer may sway them to open the exit door for Brown.
Brown has shined over the past year for Stoke, and that has seen him earn his first call up to the Scotland international squad.
Smart?
Moyes will know his Scottish compatriot and could make a move to bring him to the London Stadium.
West Ham are becoming much more of a big draw now, especially with the success of the Europa League this season.
With that being said, should we be going for bigger names? Brown has tasted success in the Championship, but nothing more.
Jarrod Bowen has proved that can still work though, so a cheap move if it is on the cards, we should take advantage of it.
Moyes and the Irons have all of the cards in this one, and their success should easily put them ahead of Brentford and Burnley.
With plans already being put in place, the Hammers will be hoping for a much better summer window than January.
