West Ham United are allegedly still looking at bringing Josh Cullen back to the London Stadium from Anderlecht in the summer transfer window.
That according to football journalist Dean Jones who told Give Me Sport that Hammers boss David Moyes is keeping an eye on Cullen ahead of the summer transfer window.

Cullen left the London Stadium to join Anderlecht in the summer of 2020. David Moyes let Cullen go for just £900,000 (Soccerbase).
The Westcliffe-on-Sea born midfielder had been with West Ham since he was just a young boy before he left to join the Belgian club.
The 16-capped Republic of Ireland international has really impressed in Belgium.
Cullen has been praised by Sport Foot Magazine who claim that his exceptional displays for Anderlecht have seen his value triple over the past year or so.
And Anderlecht boss Vincent Kompany recently lauded the Republic of Ireland international midfielder, as quoted by The 42:
“His team-mates are the ones who admire him the most because he only has one thing on his mind: the team. If the team wins, it’s because he did a lot of the jobs that the others cannot.”
And it seems as though his performances have piqued the interest of West Ham and David Moyes…
West Ham eyeing summer transfer for ex-player
Dean Jones has told Give Me Sport that the Hammers are keeping an eye on Josh Cullen ahead of the summer transfer window:
“I was told they are keeping an eye on him. They have scouted him again and he could be someone they look to.”
David Moyes desperately needs to strengthen his central midfield ranks at the London Stadium this summer.
Mark Noble is set to retire whilst Alex Kral will almost certainly be sent back to Spartak Moscow.
So it would be no surprise at all to see West Ham make a move to bring Cullen back to East London. If we’re being honest though, Moyes should surely be setting his sights higher than Josh Cullen.
The 26-year-old is a decent midfielder but West Ham really should be targeting elite players rather than good, solid pros now.
Having said that, we would not have a problem with Moyes bringing Cullen back home in addition to signing a truly top-class central midfielder in the summer transfer window.
