# West Ham United: Hammers buzz as club allegedly eye Josh Brownhill

**According to an exclusive report by [TEAMtalk](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-west-ham-villa-scouting-impressive-burnley-midfielder), West Ham United are taking a ‘[keen interest](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-west-ham-villa-scouting-impressive-burnley-midfielder)‘ in Burnley star Josh Brownhill ahead of the summer window and have scouted him in recent months – prompting many Hammers to buzz as their club allegedly eye the midfield maestro.**

Brownhill, who has been a regular under Sean Dyche this term, starting 22 league games for the Clarets ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/138929/Show/Josh-Brownhill)), has adapted ‘[very well](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-west-ham-villa-scouting-impressive-burnley-midfielder)‘ to the top flight since signing from Bristol City in January 2020 for £9 million ([BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51313248)).

As a result, the Hammers are reportedly taking a ‘keen interest’ in the Englishman alongside a plethora of Premier League sides ahead of the summer transfer market – with West Ham joining Wolves, Southampton, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa among the outfits keeping tabs.

Indeed, TEAMtalk claim that the Irons have scouted him in recent months – with Burnley ‘[facing a battle](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-west-ham-villa-scouting-impressive-burnley-midfielder)‘ to keep hold of Brownhill after a noteworthy campaign.

Flocking to this news, many West Ham fans buzzed at the thought of signing Brownhill and dropped their takes on social media – with one supporter even saying he would be ‘[perfect](https://twitter.com/smudgerdc/status/1368971512963887107)‘ for David Moyes.
