# West Ham United: Fans buzzing as GSB allegedly eye Josh Brownhill

**According to a report by [Eurosport](https://www.eurosport.co.uk/football/transfers/2020-2021/west-ham-targeting-chelsea-star-leicester-after-jamie-vardy-replacement-inside-football_sto8215265/story.shtml), via [West Ham Central](https://twitter.com/WestHam_Central/status/1380972597790310402), the Irons’ GSB ownership are very likely to make a move for Burnley midfielder Josh Brownhill this summer – a source of excitement to many supporters as this news emerged.**

Brownhill has been a mainstay for Sean Dyche’s midfield this season and a real enforcer, making [2.4 interceptions per game](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/138929/Show/Josh-Brownhill) on average in the Premier League – even more than West Ham star Declan Rice has managed over 2020/21 ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/332325/Show/Declan-Rice)).

West Ham legend Mark Noble is set to hang up his boots at the end of the 2021/22 campaign after signing a [one-year extension back in March](https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2021/march/09-march/mark-noble-2022-ill-always-be-attached-west-ham#:~:text=Mark%20Noble%20has%20signed%20a,a%20West%20Ham%20United%20shirt.), and Brownhill’s impressive numbers point towards him being a worthy heir to the 33-year-old.

Flocking to this update, many Irons supporters were buzzing with this link – with one even calling Brownhill a ‘big player’. Here is a flavour of the reaction from the Hammers faithful on Twitter:
