West Ham United are reportedly in pole position to seal the transfer of Burnley favourite Jacob Bruun Larsen this summer.
The 25-year-old Danish winger is currently on loan at Turf Moor, and he’s done well for the club since his arrival from Hoffenheim.
It now seems there is plenty of interest in keeping Larsen in the Premier League, with West Ham and Everton among his suitors.
However, Burnley are also keen to keep Larsen permanently, though it remains to be seen how likely that is for them after their relegation to the Championship was recently confirmed.
Larsen will surely know he’s good enough to be playing at the top level, so may hold out for the likes of West Ham or Everton instead.
The Hammers’ interest in Larsen reportedly stems from Julen Lopetegui, according to reports, with the Spanish tactician set to replace David Moyes at the end of this current campaign.
WHUFC would do well to give Lopetegui an improved squad to work with after so many inconsistent performances this term.
