With over 1,700 voting in yesterday’s Claret and Hugh poll, over 50% would want Butland to pull on a Hammers jersey. The 25-year-old has been linked to West Ham recently and it has been reported that the Hammers made a tentative enquiry but Stoke won’t entertain bid under £30m and that valuation but may be a step too far for the Irons.
Burnley’s shot-stopper Tom Heaton was the second most voted target with over 24% of the vote followed Manchester United’s Sam Johnstone at 6%. Edouard Mendy and Lukasz Fabianski pulled in 5% of the vote each while Willy Caballero had 4% and Liverpool’s Simon Mignolet the least 3%.
