West Ham United allegedly could bring Josh Cullen back to the London Stadium in the summer transfer window.
That’s according to a report from iNews who claim that the Hammers could face competition from Burnley for the 26-year-old midfielder’s signature this summer.

Cullen left the London Stadium to join Anderlecht in the summer of 2020. David Moyes let Cullen go for just £900,000 (Soccerbase).
And the Essex-born ace has been a real hit with the Belgian outfit.
Cullen had been with West Ham since he was just a young boy before he left to join Anderlecht.
Since moving to Lotto Park, Cullen has earned rave reviews.
The 26-year-old 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.
Ex-Anderlecht boss Vincent Kompany recently lauded the 20-capped 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 Cullen’s fine performances for Anderlecht have not gone unnoticed…
West Ham could bring back Josh Cullen
iNews claim that the Hammers and Burnley are both eyeing up potential deals for the Republic of Ireland international.
Considering West Ham’s lack of options in the middle of the park, signing Josh Cullen wouldn’t be the worst idea in the world, especially if he is available for a reasonable fee.
The Essex-born ace is obviously a very competent midfielder. There will be question marks hanging over his head as to whether he has what it takes to succeed in the Premier League though.
And if we’re being brutally honest, David Moyes should be setting his sights a lot higher than Cullen this summer.
If West Ham do bring him back, it would be a big surprise in my eyes.
