# West Ham United: Roshane Thomas reveals Keane Lewis-Potter talks

**[West Ham United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/west-ham-news/) are ‘set to open talks’ with Hull City over winger Keane Lewis-Potter ahead of a proposed summer transfer, claims The Athletic’s Roshane Thomas.**

### The Lowdown: Lewis-Potter’s season

The 21-year-old has enjoyed a fantastic breakout campaign in the Championship this season, having netted [11 goals in 44 league appearances.](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/keane-lewis-potter/leistungsdaten/spieler/644401)

More impressively, he has [played the full 90 minutes in every single one of these games.](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/keane-lewis-potter/leistungsdaten/spieler/644401)

Unsurprisingly, a number of clubs have expressed their interest in signing the youngster. [Brentford had a bid rising to £8m rejected last summer](https://theathletic.com/3269084/2022/04/25/ornstein-liverpool-considering-crypto-shirt-sponsor/?source=emp_shared_article), but following the youngster’s superb form this season, the fee needed will now be much higher.

### The Latest: Thomas’s news

According to a report by [Roshane Thomas](https://twitter.com/RoshaneSport/status/1518496823849148417) and [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/3269084/2022/04/25/ornstein-liverpool-considering-crypto-shirt-sponsor/?source=emp_shared_article), West Ham are ready to make a move for Lewis-Potter.

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/RoshaneSport/status/1518496823849148417), Thomas claimed: *“West Ham are set to open talks over Hull City winger Keane Lewis-Potter, who is valued at around £18 million.”*

In the [adjacent article](https://theathletic.com/3269084/2022/04/25/ornstein-liverpool-considering-crypto-shirt-sponsor/?source=emp_shared_article), it is claimed that the Irons are keen to do business with Hull again, following the success they have had with the arrival of Jarrod Bowen in 2020.

### The Verdict: Promising talent

Described by former Tigers boss Grant McCann as [“a special talent”](https://saintsmarching.com/2021/10/08/said-southampton-target-keane-lewis-potter/), it is easy to see why West Ham would be interested in signing what could be a new Bowen.

Current manager Shota Arveladze has backed up these claims, having asserted that the 21-year-old plays [“like Overmars”.](https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/hull-v-west-brom-special-talent-lewis-potter-only-going-to-get-better-3598031)

Therefore, with such talent available in the Championship, David Moyes should act quickly to secure the youngster’s arrival, perhaps saving some funds compared to buying from Europe’s elite leagues this summer.
