According to Hull Live, West Ham are considering a January bid for Hull wonderkid Keane Lewis-Potter, who David Moyes is a big fan of.
What’s the story?
Well, Hull Live believe West Ham have scouted Lewis-Potter in recent weeks, as they weigh up a January offer for the attacking prospect.
The 20-year-old has enjoyed a fine campaign for the Tigers so far, scoring four goals while also providing four assists in 22 Championship outings.
Hull Live believe Lewis-Potter has aspirations of playing Premier League football, but he’s unlikely to push for a move in 2022.
Leicester are also interested in the Hull No.11, whereas Brentford saw an £8m bid rejected back in the summer.
Hull dismissed the offer, as they feel they can get a lot more having sold Jarrod Bowen to West Ham for £20m.
What can Keane Lewis-Potter bring to West Ham?
Well, if you’re a West Ham supporter who enjoyed watching Wayne Rooney play, then you’re in luck.
The youngster has previously admitted that he models his game on the Manchester United and England legend, and you can certainly see that in the way he plays.
Hull Live quote him as saying: “I have always loved Rooney. He would always put a shift in and I have always watched him and tried to model my game on him a bit.”
Lewis-Potter is an aggressive forward, with fantastic movement in the box and plenty of drive in his attacking game.
Furthermore, he is small but nippy, but also boasts great upper body strength, so he’s got the best of both worlds from a physical aspect, just like Rooney did.
Moyes has already had plenty of success with his last signing from Hull, and there’s nothing to suggest Lewis-Potter can’t do as well – if not better – than Bowen has.
