West Ham are reportedly eyeing a move for Burnley midfielder Josh Brownhill ahead of the January transfer window, with several other clubs, including Leeds United, Celtic, and Brighton, also interested, according to TBR Football. Brownhill’s current contract at Burnley runs until June 2025, but with no new deal in sight, the Clarets may look to sell him in January rather than risk losing him for free.
Brownhill has accumulated significant experience over his career, making 382 league appearances across all competitions. Of those, 111 have come in the Premier League, where he has played in difficult circumstances at Burnley. His versatility is one of his key attributes, capable of operating in various midfield positions, although his preferred role is as a dynamic box-to-box midfielder.
While West Ham’s season has been underwhelming so far, bringing in an experienced and adaptable player like Brownhill could add depth and stability to their midfield. Surrounded by higher-quality teammates at the London Stadium, Brownhill could thrive and bring something different to the Hammers’ squad. However, West Ham will face competition for his signature, with reports suggesting interest from Saudi Arabian clubs as well.
