West Ham United are 'most closely' eyeing a move for Middlesbrough forward Isaiah Jones, according to reports.

The Lowdown: West Ham make transfer plans...

Despite a record-breaking summer of spending, the Hammers are reportedly making further transfer plans behind the scenes in an effort to back manager David Moyes.

West Ham have endured a difficult start to the 2022/23 Premier League season as we approach the World Cup in Qatar, with the east Londoners currently sitting 13th in the table.

Moyes' side have also won just four of their 13 opening league matches, potentially prompting them to make out-of-window moves already, as has been reported with Sao Paulo star Luizao.

West Ham could also turn to the Championship for answers, with one journalist sharing an update on their links with the 'Boro winger.

The Latest: West Ham eyeing Jones 'most closely'...

It is believed that West Ham are tracking the 23-year-old, who can also play wing-back, with reporter Dean Jones sharing an update.

When asked about the Hammers' links to the Middlesbrough sensation, he explained to GiveMeSport: "It would be a nice addition. Palace and West Ham have been following Isaiah Jones most closely."

The Verdict: Make a move?

Called a 'wonderful' and 'incredible' player by journalist Josh Bunting, even though the 23-year-old hasn't been at his best recently according to Jones, the Riverside starlet has still impressed statistically.

As per WhoScored, he stands out as Boro's best-performing player by average match rating, and nobody in their squad has completed more successful take-ons per 90 than the Englishman.

Depending on Jones' possible price tag, Moyes will surely be watching the player's progress with keen optimism.
