# Virals: West Ham join ‘race’ for highly-rated Hull City duo

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2022/02/25/virals-west-ham-confirm-successful-surgery-for-vladimir-coufal/) have reportedly joined the ‘race’ to sign Hull City duo [Keane Lewis-Potter](https://readwestham.com/2021/12/14/virals-west-ham-tempted-by-move-for-hull-city-ace-keane-lewis-potter/) and Jacob Greaves.

The Hammers will rival Brentford as David Moyes [delves into the Championship once again](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/david-moyes/spielertransfers/trainer/450) in order to bolster the ranks at the London Stadium.

Exciting winger Lewis-Potter has been [linked](https://the72.co.uk/257792/west-ham-ready-to-test-the-water-with-keane-lewis-potter-bid-report-claims/) previously but 21-year-old central defender Greaves is a fresh link to the Irons.

According to a report from [90min](https://www.90min.com/posts/west-ham-rival-brentford-race-hull-duo-keane-lewis-potter-jacob-greaves), as cited by [West Ham News & Views](https://twitter.com/WestHamViews_/status/1496929381326934021) on Twitter, Moyes is keen on a summer swoop for both starlets.

The report claims that fellow 21-year-old Lewis-Potter has ‘caught the eye’ of West Ham scouts – with the belief that the [blueprint set out by Jarrod Bowen](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51323082) could be followed.

This season the Hull-born starlet has [scored seven times and provided four assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/keane-lewis-potter/leistungsdaten/spieler/644401) in 36 appearances across all competitions.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Valued at £900,000 and under contract until 2023 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/keane-lewis-potter/marktwertverlauf/spieler/644401)), signing Lewis-Potter should be a relatively inexpensive option for the East Londoners.

Likewise, Greaves also holds a [£900,000 perceived market](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jacob-greaves/marktwertverlauf/spieler/693095) value and would therefore represent a wholly affordable option to bolster the defensive ranks.

Both young talented and helping to fill the [required homegrown player quota](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/12052427/do-premier-league-clubs-need-to-sign-homegrown-players), a double swoop in the summer would tick plenty of boxes.
