West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing Wimbledon youngster Toby Sibbick.
According to The Sun, Arsenal, Watford and West Ham United are all keen to sign AFC Wimbledon teenager Toby Sibbick.
Sibbick, 17, has come up through the ranks with the League Two club, and he was rewarded for his progression with his first professional contract back in August.

The teenager is making waves with Neal Ardley’s men, and whilst he’s yet to make his first-team debut for the club, he’s attracting major interest.
The Sun report that three Premier League clubs are keen on signing Sibbick, as Arsenal, Watford and West Ham are all interested in him.
General view inside the London Stadium
Primarily a right back who can also play at centre back, Sibbick appears to have a bright future ahead of him, and that future could lie with one of the Premier League’s top sides.
Compared to Bournemouth full back Tyrone Mings, Sibbick could become the latest English youngster to make a move to Arsenal, after Arsene Wenger landed the likes of Rob Holding and Cohen Bramall.
Meanwhile, West Ham have had plenty of problems at right back, and may see Sibbick as a long-term solution to that issue, and a move to the London Stadium could be appealing for a young player.
Watford may seem like the outsiders in the race for Sibbick, but the likes of Brandon Mason, Carl Stewart and Michael Folivi are starting to emerge at Vicarage Road, with youngsters starting to get a chance with the Hornets – and future first-team opportunities will be key to Sibbick’s decision should all three teams move for him this year.
