Brentford join West Ham in race for Keane Lewis-Potter

Brentford reportedly want to add more quality on the flanks.

According to the football transfer rumours in British media, Brentford have joined West Ham in race for Hull City winger Keane Lewis-Potter.

The winger banged in 3 goals and provided 2 assists in 12 matches this season across all fronts showcasing just how influential he has been in the final third.

He’s incredibly experienced for a 20-year-old and still has tons of room for growth.

His performances have seen him become the target of many Premier League clubs including Brentford.

By the club’s own admission, Hull City winger Keane Lewis-Potter is Brentford’s number one transfer target.

Thomas Frank is a firm fan of the 20-year-old and Brentford could make a move for the player if the financial aspect makes sense.

Brentford are in the market for just a handful of statement signings who can improve the first-team.

The England international will offer the Brentford boss the freedom to be more flexible with his formations, tactics and team selections.

According to the report, “The Hull City winger has become a vital part of Grant McCann’s team in recent seasons. He netted 13 goals in League One last term as the Tigers finished top of the table. Despite playing at a higher level this time around, Lewis-Potter has already achieved three goal contributions since July. The attacker’s fine form means it is no surprise that Premier League clubs are taking an interest. Teamtalk reported on October 1 that West Ham were plotting a raid for Lewis-Potter. David Moyes has been impressed by Jarrod Bowen, who left Hull for West Ham in January 2020, and wants to complete a similar deal. The Athletic now claim that Brentford have a long-standing interest in Lewis-Potter. They submitted an £8million bid during the summer which was swiftly knocked back. He is one of Hull’s most prized assets and as such will not be allowed to leave for less than £12m. His contract expires in June 2023 which means the Championship outfit are in no rush to sell. Brentford remain undeterred and are expected to make another bid in 2022.”

A big money bid from Brentford could tempt Hull City into selling their prized asset.

Good signing for Brentford?

If Lewis-Potter is available for the right price, then he could be a clever acquisition for Brentford.

He has all the skillset required to be a success story at Brentford. Therefore, it makes sense for Frank to step up his attempts to bring the England winger to Premier League side.

Brentford fans would certainly love to see him arrive at the club.

It will be interesting to see what happens when Brentford come calling for Lewis-Potter this winter.
