West Ham United want to sign ‘breakout’ Charlton Athletic ace Miles Leaburn in 2024
West Ham United are currently monitoring “breakout” Charlton Athletic ace Miles Leaburn, according to TEAMtalk.
The publication reported on its website on Wednesday (6 December) that the Hammers want to sign the youngster in 2024.
The 20-year-old forward has registered seven goals and three assists in 18 appearances in all competitions this season.
New forward incoming?
West Ham haven’t always got their recruitment spot on over the years, but that wasn’t the case in the recent summer transfer window.
Star midfielder and club captain Declan Rice did depart for Arsenal, but that was a transfer that was long in the making.
Hammers fans were more concerned about who was coming in, with David Moyes and his staff doing a great job in bringing the likes of Edson Alvarez and James Ward-Prowse to the London Stadium.
And Mohammed Kudus also arrived to improve the attack under Moyes, a role the Ghana international has carried out expertly so far.
But he may just have some help in the near future, with Charlton ace Leaburn potentially moving to East London next year.
The forward has impressed in his brief career to date, although it remains to be seen how he would cope with the step up to the Premier League.
Not all youngsters thrive with such a step, but right now Leaburn is proving that he at least knows where the back of the net is.
