HITC Sport understands West Ham starlet set for League One loan move.
West Ham United starlet Marcus Browne is poised to join Northampton Town on loan, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.
Browne is regarded as one of the best young talents to come through the ranks at West Ham’s famed academy in recent years.

Browne has been a regular in the club’s Under-23s and has impressed in the EFL Checkatrade Trophy against Football League opponents.
A number of Football League clubs have expressed an interest to West Ham to take Browne on loan, but Northampton have acted swiftly to agree a deal for the talented attacking midfielder.
West Ham boss Slaven Bilic is a big admirer of Browne and feels a loan move away for valuable first-team experience is the next stage in his development.
Northampton are hoping to secure the signing of Browne in the next 48 hours and he could go straight into the squad for this weekend’s League One clash with Bristol Rovers.
