According to The Sun, West Ham United are keen on a deal for Manchester United full back Brandon Williams this summer.
It’s claimed that Norwich are keen on Williams, who could be loaned out by United for next season in order to aid his development.
With question marks hanging over the future of right back Max Aarons, Williams could head to Carrow Road as a replacement.
However, Southampton and West Ham are also thought to be keen, having explored January moves for the 20-year-old before Ole Gunnar Solkjaer kiboshed a deal.
United may be more open to a move this summer, and West Ham are back in the race to land him as David Moyes seeks another favour from the Red Devils.
Moyes took Jesse Lingard on loan from United in January, and he has enjoyed a remarkable stint with the Hammers, putting himself back in England contention.
Williams may fancy that for himself, but it could be a very Lingard-like deal, as West Ham likely wouldn’t have the option to turn the move permanent.
Williams has gone from playing 1037 minutes in the Premier League last season to just seven minutes this term, suffering from the presence of Luke Shaw, Alex Telles and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
The youngster can play in either full back spot, and that may well appeal to Moyes given that he would be able to compete with Vladimir Coufal, Aaron Cresswell and Arthur Masuaku.
West Ham’s work with Lingard should put them at the front of the queue for Williams, but with Norwich and Southampton also keen, this won’t be easy.
