West Ham United’s Reece Burke is reportedly wanted by Derby County and Hull City in the summer transfer window.
It has been reported by the British tabloid that Derby manager Frank Lampard – a former West Ham midfielder – has made a late move for the 21-year-old defender.
The youngster was reportedly set to join Hull City from the Hammers for £1.5 million on Monday, but the Rams are claimed to have made an improved offer for the former England Under-20 international.
The Sun has also claimed that Burke is tempted by Lampard’s West Ham connections, and that he is reluctantly leaving the London club after being told that his chances of playing regularly for Manuel Pellegrini’s side would be limited.
Derby County or Hull City?
Derby will be aiming for promotion to the Premier League next season, while Hull could struggle to make the Championship playoffs during the 2018-19 campaign.
It would make sense for Burke to move to the Rams, as he will be working under West Ham great Lampard.
The Chelsea legend will have fresh ideas, and working with the former England international midfielder could be very exciting and educative for Burke.
