Northern Ireland youth coach Gerard Lyttle recently confirmed that we tried to sign the teenage forward.

He remained with Cliftonville in the end, but that hasn’t stopped the Hammers from trying again…

West Ham have Sean Moore bid rejected

According to a report from the Belfast Telegraph, the Hammers have made a pre-summer transfer window offer for the Cliftonville starlet.

Unfortunately for us, it has been rejected by the Northern Irish club – the second time that this has happened in the last three months.

Sean Moore is a real talent, and has bagged six goals and three assists in 34 senior appearances for Cliftonville (Transfermarkt).

The teenage winger, who can also operate as a full-back, possesses exceptional technical ability and has pace in abundance.

It will be interesting to see whether West Ham go back in for Moore in the summer transfer window.

The problem for the Hammers is that we face competition from the likes of Newcastle United and Celtic (Independent and Daily Mirror).

It’s no surprise that West Ham made a bid for the young Northern Irish winger. We seem to have been targeting the best young Irishman recently including Patrick Kelly and Callum Marshall.

I think Sean Moore is a hugely exciting young talent and could be a real star of the future. He is definitely one for the Hammers fans to keep an eye on ahead of the summer transfer window.

However, after West Ham had another bid rejected for him, it’s clear that he won’t come cheap.
