According to The Telegraph, Crystal Palace and Fulham are interested in signing West Ham United midfielder Josh Cullen.
It’s claimed that Cullen is available for a ‘low fee’ this summer because he has just one year left on his West Ham contract.
That has alerted London rivals Palace and Fulham, who want to keep Cullen in the capital this summer.
Cullen, 24, has come up through the West Ham ranks having joined way back in 2005 at the age of just nine, but has found a breakthrough tough to come by.
He has managed just nine first-team appearances for West Ham, and only three of those games came in the Premier League.
Last season, Cullen went out on loan to Charlton Athletic, and impressed for the Championship side even though he couldn’t help them avoid the drop.
Quite frankly, it’s now or never for Cullen at West Ham. He either needs a new deal and a chance in the Premier League, or needs to move on.
He will have seen James Tomkins and Cheikhou Kouyate thrive at Palace, possibly making them an appealing destination – and could end up following them to South London.
