West Ham United striker Ashley Fletcher has emerged as a target for Watford and Burnley, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.
Fletcher joined West Ham last summer from Manchester United after running down his contract at Old Trafford.
West Ham landed Fletcher for a minimal £1million compensation fee and they could now be tempted to sell the England Under-20 international to make a huge profit on him.

Fletcher was given limited opportunities under West Ham boss Slaven Bilic last season, but when called upon the striker impressed for the Hammers.
Fletcher made 16 appearances for West Ham in the Premier League, although only two of them were as starts.
A number of clubs are monitoring Fletcher’s situation at the London Stadium this summer and with other strikers on the market being valued at high prices Fletcher could prove to be a bargain with West Ham ready to consider offers in the region of £6million for him.
Watford and Burnley are both looking to strengthen their attacking options this summer and Fletcher has emerged on their radars.
Burnley could lose Andre Gray this summer with the player yet to agree a new deal at Turf Moor, while new Watford boss Marco Silva is looking to reshape his squad at Vicarage Road.
