West Ham have prioritised jet-heeled Brian Brobbey over André Silva as they seek a forward to bolster their squad for the rest of the season, according to a C&H source.
Ajax striker Brobbey has moved to the top of the club’s list, surpassing Portuguese international Silva, who was initially highlighted by Max Hahns prior to Graham Potter’s arrival at the London Stadium.
This season, the Dutch international, under contract until 2027, has scored three goals and provided seven assists in 28 appearances.
It appears that during final discussions yesterday, the club opted for the younger Brobbey on a loan, believing he offers a better fit with greater potential for development.
The Hammers have struggled to secure their major transfer targets during this window but recognise the need to strengthen the squad.
Jarrod Bowen is back in training and expected to return for the Chelsea clash, but Niclas Füllkrug remains unavailable
