West Ham United is fighting against a premier league rival club for the signing of a midfielder marking goals, according to a report.
Hammers threw views on the reconstruction of midfielder
West Ham signed the season with a 3-1 victory over the city of Ipswich, but in truth, the 2024-25 campaign was very disappointing, ending at only 14th place, and Graham Potter may think that his team needs a major operation in the summer transfer window.
Potter has now called on Kyle Macaulay as a recruitment manager, with whom the director worked in Brighton, and the new arrival has not lost time to identify the potential targets, with an agreement for a new midfielder who is now getting closer.
Indeed, the Hammers have now concluded an agreement for the signing of Raphael Onyedika from Club Brugge, the Nigerian now online to move to the London stadium in an agreement worth around 20 million pounds sterling, but he is not the only midfielder they have seen.
According to a report by Claret & Hugh, West Ham is now in a direct shooting with Everton for the signing of the Burnley star, Josh Brownhill, with the former boss of Irons David Moyes known to be a long -term admirer of the 29 -year -old man.
Brownhill is without a contract with the Clarets, which means that it will be available on a free transfer this summer, if its current employers cannot attach it to a new agreement, although their pursuit of the RENNES midfielder Jordan James suggest that they do not hold much hope.
Leeds United is also named potential pretender for the midfielder, who certainly drew attention with some of his performances for Burnley during their 2024-25 promotion campaign.

The Hammers are close to their first summer signature …
The midfielder born in Manchester was a key player for the Clarets, displaying his versatility by regularly putting in defensive and attackers, but his performance on foot before were particularly impressive.
In 42 championship outings, the Englishman collected 24 contributions to goals, collecting 18 goals and six assists, and he certainly stood out for the commentator Phil Bird, who chose the Burnley star to rent after having marked a double against Millwall last month.
The fact that transfer fees will not be necessary could make the signing of the former man of Bristol City an attractive proposal for West Ham, but there are doubts as to whether he would be able to have a similar impact at the London stadium.
Brownhill has 111 Premier League appearances in his name, during which he only won six goals and six assists, so even if the maestro could be a good team player for Potter, taking into account his versatility, it is unlikely that he will pass the West Ham midfielder at the upper level.
