# West Ham: Fans react to Martin Braithwaite transfer update

**West Ham United face an uphill battle in their pursuit of Barcelona striker Martin Braithwaite, with Brighton & Hove Albion, Burnley and Norwich City also interested in his signature \[[Sport](https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/barca-prepara-buena-venta-braithwaite-barca-barsa-barcelona-norwich-west-ham-11850412)\].**

Enjoying a respectable 2020/21 campaign, the Danish forward registered 11 goal contributions from 42 fixtures for the Catalan giants, with seven goals and four assists \[[Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/martin-braithwaite/leistungsdaten/spieler/95732)\].

The Premier League quartet are all said to be keen on the 30-year-old, who is also subject of attention from an [unnamed Russian club](https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/barca-prepara-buena-venta-braithwaite-barca-barsa-barcelona-norwich-west-ham-11850412).

David Moyes reportedly wants to strengthen his offensive arsenal this summer, whilst he is believed to be an admirer of Braithwaite’s qualities as the Irons stride towards the 2021/22 campaign \[[The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/15403538/west-ham-transfer-news-martin-braithwaite/)\].

In light of these recent developments, plenty of Hammers diehards have taken to Twitter to voice their concerns over the latest news, with many unconvinced by Braithwaite’s abilities.
