West Ham lagging behind Championship club in race to sign defender

Hartlepool United defender Harrison Webster is said to be leaning towards a move towards Wolves, as opposed to a move to London to join West Ham.

The left-fullback has reportedly already been on trial with the Championship leaders, and is reportedly preparing to join Nuno Espirito Santo’s team for the beginning of next season.

At just 15-years-old, the signing of Webster would be a long-term plan for the position, as West Ham can already boast a number of options for the immediate future – players like Aaron Cresswell, Patrice Evra, and Arthur Masuaku will all be competing for playing time come next season at the London Stadium.

Webster, if he were to join, would join other defensive prospects Declan Rice and Reece Oxford, both tipped to have big futures for the Irons.

Interest has also been reported by Leicester City, but all signs seem to be pointing towards the prospect choosing to play his football at the sure to be promoted Wolves.
