West Ham and Tottenham have joined Arsenal and Liverpool in the race to sign highly-rated Nottingham Forest attacker Oliver Burke.
According to the Mirror, the teenage sensation has lit up the Championship for Forest this season and has attracted interest from some of England’s biggest clubs.
The 19-year-old scored twice in a 4-3 home win for Forest yesterday over Wigan and has drawn comparisons to Gareth Bale with his marauding runs down the wing and natural finishing prowess.
A Scottish youth international, Burke has two years remaining on his current contract and Forest are looking for a fee in excess of £10m to sell their young star this summer.
The Hammers dealt with Forest to sign a winger last summer, completing the £7m signing of Michail Antonio on deadline day.
West Ham are in a bit of an injury crisis with Andy Carroll joining the likes of Andre Ayew, Manuel Lanzini and Sofiane Feghouli in the physio room.
