Primarily a left-back, Brown is versatile and can also operate as a left-sided winger or even as a centre-back if needed. Born in Birmingham, his potential addition to the West Ham squad would bolster their ranks, particularly given the potential departures of UK developed players like Aaron Cresswell, Ben Johnson, Divin Mubama, Kalvin Phillips, and possibly Michail Antonio at the end of the current campaign.
West Ham’s interest in Brown signals their intent to reinforce their squad ahead of the next season, while also addressing any potential gaps in their homegrown player quotas.
