Hammers ‘targets’ all linked to same agent

|

West Ham are keen on Manchester United keeper Sam Johnstone who was left shattered after missing out with Aston Villa in the Championship play off final.

The stopper was on loan to the midlands outfit last season and is represented by the Unique Sports Management  who also look after the interests of Aaron Cresswell, Michail Antonio, Pedro Obiang and Cheick Kouyate. 

Ryan Fredericks has also recently joined the same stable and, as we reported last night, the Fulham defender heads into talks with the Hammers on Monday with a long term deal now firmly on the cards.

It’s probably no coincidence given USM’s strong links to the Hammers that Tom Cairney – another of the group’s clients – has also been linked with the club.

And Newcastle central defender and skipper Jamaal Lascelles is another they look after which once again may account for the regularly reported links to the 24 year old.

    Get them ALL! And Shelvey – if we couldn’t get their manager, let’s clear Newcastle out of their top talent instead! 🙂

    I like Lascelles a lot, seems to have a very good character, Cairney is another that has a lot of potential and good character but I think best to wait and see how he does in the PL its a big step up from the Championship as we all know.
