West Ham consider move for middlesbrough star Morgan Whittaker

West Ham United are exploring a potential move for Middlesbrough midfielder Morgan Whittaker ahead of the new season, according to reports from talkSPORT.

Middlesbrough are keen to keep hold of the talented midfielder and retain his services at the Riverside Stadium. However, the Championship side could face a difficult task convincing Whittaker to remain in North Yorkshire amid interest from the Premier League club.

West Ham are weighing up an offer for the 24-year-old, who has attracted attention with his performances and attacking ability.

The Hammers are looking to strengthen their squad before the start of the campaign, while Middlesbrough will hope to fend off interest and keep one of their key players.
