Premier League trio West Ham United, Palace and Saints reportedly want the Woking star, as do Championship duo Brentford and Millwall.

Woking defender Oliver Creed could be on his way to the Premier League with West Ham United, Crystal Palace and Southampton all keeping tabs on the promising youngster, according to TEAMtalk.

The teenager is already establishing himself among the first-team squad at Woking, who are currently flying high in the Conference after sealing promotion from the National League South division last season.

But Creed might not be honing his talents at the Kingfield Stadium for much longer with plenty of clubs higher up the footballing pyramid showing an interest.

TEAMtalk claims that Premier League trio Palace, West Ham and Southampton are all interested. Millwall want to bring Creed to the Championship, as do a Brentford side who have a fine record when it comes to snapping up little known youngsters before turning them into stars in the Championship.

Andre Gray was a non-league player when he joined The Bees in 2014 and, just three years later, he was on his way to Watford in an £18.5 million deal (The Mail). So Brentford could be the perfect destination for Creed.

Though a similar argument can be made about Southampton, whose manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has made a point about prioritising young, hungry talents like Moussa Djenepo and Che Adams (ITV).
