West Ham are continuing tough negotiations to sign Edvin Austbo, with ExWHUEmployee providing the latest on transfers. Reporting on The West Ham Way Patreon, our insider has also advised that the club have confirmed that Michael Keane is a target, with others too in the frame. “West Ham have confirmed that Michael Keane is a target and is someone who we see as the experienced leader at the back who can look support our younger players,” stated Ex. “He is not the only centre back target though and there are others with similar credentials being looked at. “The winger situation is interesting because we like Reiss Nelson and clearly we expected him to be released so this is why we held off on the deal but now that he has been released it seems we are still very keen on Edvin Austbø of Viking. “This deal is proving harder to conclude but is one we have continued negotiations with today and one we really want to get concluded. He is seen as a really exciting prospect and one that could give us a real attacking edge. “The club are looking at left backs too. We again would like a bit more experience because we have Scarles and Mayers. “There is an element of truth to the interest in Chelsea left back Caleb Wiley and we have spoke to Chelsea about loaning a number of their prospects out, for now Wiley could be a last minute option if that experienced left back does not materialise. “The club have denied interest in former Burnley midfielder Josh Brownhill despite rumours linking him to the club.”
