The summer transfer window is warmed up and one of the smartest young prospects of the Premier League, Ben Doak, is now central to the growing interest of several clubs.
With the 19-year-old winger who entered the last year of his contract in Liverpool, West Ham United reportedly became a member of the chase for his signature, a development that the Merseyside club could force in a difficult decision.
As reported by journalist David LynchThe hammers have announced their interest in recent days and add their name to a growing list of vooragers with Crystal Palace, Ipswich Town and Everton.
Graham Potter investigates Move for Ben Doak
West Ham is supposed to be seriously considering a movement for Doak, especially given the club’s emphasis on adding pace to their team.
While Liverpool remains admirers of DOAK’s potential, they are confronted with increasing pressure because of his contract situation.
The club rejected the offers in the £ 20 million region for the Scottish teenager in January, but sources suggest that their appreciation is now closer to £ 25-30 million.
That figure can be difficult for interested clubs, especially if the Reds keep playing hardball.
However, now that Doak’s Deal is expiring, the leverage can soon move from Anfield.
West Ham United could accelerate the development of Doak
The development of Doak has followed closely in recent seasons and he enjoyed a particularly promising loan spell with Middlesbrough during the 2024/25 campaign. In 24 performances, the young winger registered 10 target contributions.
The Scotland International would reportedly want to be more regular minutes of the first team, something that Liverpool did not consistently offered, and wants to strengthen its place in the national team.
With West Ham now in the mix and renewed approaches that are expected in the coming weeks, Liverpool could soon make a serious decision to cash in or run the risk of losing him for less years.
