A lot of West Ham fans are discussing whether they would like to see Eberechi Eze and Ollie Watkins at the club after Tony Cottee tweeted that he would love to see them at the Hammers.
The ex-striker made close to 300 appearances for West Ham in his two spells at the club, scoring 117 goals (Soccerbase). Eze, who is an attacking midfielder at QPR, has 11 goals and 7 assists this season (Transfermarkt) whilst Watkins, who is at Brentford, has 22 goals and 3 assists (Transfermarkt). Both are clearly having great campaigns and are both under the age of 25, so can achieve a lot more in their careers.
West Ham have already looked to the Championship for signings with Jarrod Bowen joining the Hammers from Hull in January for £19.17 million (Transfermarkt) and there is no doubt that they will look to buy more players from the league if Bowen has a successful end to the season.
Fans are speaking on Twitter about their thoughts on signing the two players:
My first one has already signed, Jarrod Bowen, Ollie Watkins from #Brentford & Eze from QPR, they're my three! https://t.co/73U2vuxHGi

Them 2 would be class so you think it’s time for us to start looking in the championship more often again lots of good players in there who would relish the chance of premier league football if we can stay up ?

Been saying for ages we should be looking at Ollie Watkins, think he’d get the best out of Haller too

I’d love to see that too Cotte both will have probably £20m price tags & If Brentford come up reckon Walktins stays if they don’t we should go for him & their DOF Ankersen!
Eze is one of my fav players to watch in championship pace & skill on ball do well in PL IMO!
