West Ham have reportedly ‘kept tabs’ on Hull City starlet Keane Lewis-Potter.
The Hammers completed the capture of Jarrod Bowen from the Championship outfit in January 2020 and it would appear they have maintained an interest at the KCOM Stadium ever since.
Previously named as Academy Player of the Year, Lewis-Potter has been making a name for himself in the senior side over the last 18 months.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, as cited by Hull Transfers on Twitter, David Moyes could be considering a second raid in Yorkshire.
The report claims that West Ham have ‘kept their eyes’ on the 20-year-old English winger and are ‘contemplating’ a January swoop.
Since breaking into the first team, Lewis-Potter has scored 20 times and provided 10 assists in 85 appearances.
This season the youngster, described as a player with a ‘bright future’ by Nigel Adkins, has scored three times and added two assists in 11 outings.

Signing Lewis-Potter would certainly be an attempted repeat of the Bowen capture.
Similar in playing style, both natural wingers have the capacity of playing in central roles, versatile that endears David Moyes to new arrivals.
Valued at just £530,000 and under contract until 2023 (Transfermarkt), West Ham would be wise to act before the Championship strugglers can tie their prize asset down.
