Josh Cullen has become a big target for relegation threatened Premier League clubs and top of the table Championship promotion contenders.

The Hammers extended his contract by another year earlier in the season and it will be fascinating to see what David Moyes decides he has in future for the player.

The manager considers himself something of an expert in finding Championship players who are good enough for the Premier League – always assuming we survive this campaign.

And after a couple of impressive seasons with Charlton on loan, Josh will be awaiting further decisions on his future with huge interest.

Seems bottom of the table Norwich are interested  whilst West Brom boss Slaven Bilic – who knows the guy’s game inside out and backwards – along with Leeds are both keen on the midfielder.

Bournemouth too are reported to have an eye on a player who has remained on the Hammers fringes throughout his career.

Cullen has caught the eye this term during his second season on loan at Championship Charlton, emerging as one of the division’s standout midfielders despite the Addicks’ struggles.

The Hammers still need to organise a long term deal if they are to seriously fight off interst from the player’s admirers.

Cullen made his West Ham debut back in the 2015/16 season and has featured nine times in total for the Hammers’ first team, building up the bulk of his senior experience during loan spells at Bradford, Bolton and, most recently, Charlton.

He has also broken into the senior Ireland setup and is due to be part of Mick McCarthy’s squad for their upcoming Euro 2020 play-off against Slovakia.
