West Ham would consider bids for midfielder Andy Irving, Claret & Hugh have been told by a training ground source late last night.
The 25-year-old has attracted interest from Celtic, who believe they could land the sparsely used Hammer for a bargain fee.
Irving made his full international debut for Scotland earlier this week, coming on just after the hour mark in a 4-0 friendly win over Liechtenstein. And it didn’t take long for the Glasgow giants to start sniffing around a player who’s been on the periphery of the West Ham squad.
C&H understand that Irving is open to a move away from the London Stadium in search of more regular first-team football.
The club, meanwhile, are keen to promote Freddie Potts into a more prominent role next season following his successful loan spell. This move will limit Irvings’ chances even further and with more midfielders expected to arrive, things will only get worse for the Scotsman. A West Ham insider told us: “Almost everyone is for sale—and Irving is no exception.”
With game time expected to be limited, the Hammers appear open to offers. A switch to Celtic Park could suit all parties.
Can’t believe that we have nurtured this talent just to give him away as he enters his prime.
Honestly I would keep him give him more game time he is still young and has a lot of potential , sometimes being patient enough should pay off, he is only 24 so he falls in the category of the youngsters he can easily take the role of number 10 and very good in scoring from outside the box , which what we need .. please don’t sell and give him a chance , he is worth to give one .
I like Irving but he’s had little chance at West Ham and I can’t see that changing. A move to Celtic I think would be right for him and right for us.
But I wish him luck 👍
Don’t know if it would be good for us.
I don’t imagine he would replace any of the current Celtic midfield and his wages may cause an issue.
I’d be surprised if this happens.
