Leeds United, Middlesbrough, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Reading have all asked to take West Ham United’s Ashley Fletcher on loan for the season.
According to a report from The Sun, Leeds, Middlesbrough, Reading and Wolves have all asked about taking West Ham striker Ashley Fletcher on loan for the season.
The Sun reports that Fletcher is likely to be allowed to leave the London Stadium on loan during the coming campaign with Javier Hernandez closing in on a move to the Hammers – and it appears that the youngster will have no shortage of offers to pick from.
West Ham United’s Ashley Fletcher
According to The Sun, Leeds are set to rival former boss Garry Monk for his signature, while Wolves and Reading are also looking at the former Barnsley man as they look to bolster their striker options ahead of the new season.
Although Fletcher is still looking for his first Premier League goal – having scored just once in 20 appearances for the Irons in all competitions since arriving from Manchester United last summer – he has already hinted that he could be an extremely useful player to have next term.
He provided a goal and assist in a pre-season friendly with Fulham – who will be taking on the likes of Reading, Wolves, Leeds and Middlesbrough in the second tier next term – and previously enjoyed a decent loan spell with the Tykes in League One.
And perhaps, if he continues to impress with any chances that come his way in pre-season, then maybe it would be fair to assume that the quartet will not be the only sides seeking a deal.
