West Ham believe they are frontrunners to sign Burnley fan favourite

At the end of this season, Brownhill’s contract with Burnley expires, making him a possible free transfer target for West Ham.

The midfielder could be a valuable addition to West Ham

This greatly increases his appeal, especially in light of his outstanding performances.

Brownhill is seen by West Ham as a useful addition to strengthen their midfield options.
