90Min claim West Ham are not alone in their pursuit of Hull winger Keane Lewis-Potter – with Wolves, Brighton, Brentford and Southampton also keen. Hull want more than £30million for their young star.
Lewis-Potter, 21, is attracting plenty of Premier League attention after another superb season in the Championship. He had a hand in 16 goals during 45 league outings – playing a number of positions, scoring 12 and creating four.

Recently, Hull’s owner Acun Ilicali said that he would reject offers worth as much as £30million for the youngster. That is, even though his contract at Hull will expire in June 2023. Ilcali described him as an “extreme talent”.
Interest is rife. West Ham have long been linked with the England Under-21 international. Now, 90Min report five clubs are after his signature including the Hammers – along with Wolves, Brighton, Brentford and Southampton.
West Ham not alone in Lewis-Potter pursuit: Wolves, Southampton too
A move to West Ham would be a good one for Lewis-Potter, but it depends on the outgoings. Jarrod Bowen came from Hull and is starring for the Hammers, earning two England caps in the past week.
He is being linked with the exit door, as is Said Benrahma. Wolves is another good move, but he may find competition from Pedro Neto, Daniel Podence and more tricky to shift. Brentford, again, would see him thrive.
But his best move would surely be Brighton or Southampton. The latter’s faith in youth will tempt Lewis-Potter, while Brighton lack top-quality additions on the flanks. Whether Hull will sell, remains to be seen.
