Journalist: West Ham 'chase ongoing' as Moyes eyes 'special' £20m forward move

Journalist Toby Cudworth of 90min has now shared a West Ham United transfer update involving Hull City forward Keane Lewis-Potter.

After just missing out on a 2022/2023 Europa League place to Man United on the Premier League final day, it is believed that the Hammers are seeking summer reinforcements to come back stronger.

Attackers are believed to be high on the agenda for manager David Moyes as links continue to surround the likes of Leeds United star Raphinha and long-time target Jesse Lingard (90min).

Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins is another who is of interest to the east Londoners with Cudworth now sharing news on Championship sensation Lewis-Potter.

According to the 90min journalist, West Ham’s chase is ‘ongoing’ to sign the 21-year-old with Moyes eyeing the starlet forward.

He explained:

“Interest in Raphinha remains & Keane Lewis-Potter chase ongoing. Difficult deals to do given vast interest and price tags but clear West Ham want forwards.”

Reports have suggested that the Englishman could cost up to £20 million, but going by his age and scintillating form, he’d be worth every penny.

Called a ‘special‘ attacker by former Hull boss Grant McCann, Lewis-Potter has been a mainstay for The Tigers over this last season and finished 2021/2022 as their most threatening player (WhoScored).

He bagged more Championship goals (12) and racked up more attempts per 90 than any of his teammates over last season (WhoScored), marking himself out as truly elite prospect who could shine at the London Stadium.
