West Ham United reportedly want to sign Stoke City striker Jacob Brown in the summer transfer window.
That’s according to a report from Football League World who claim that Stoke are preparing a new contract for the 24-year-old striker in a bid to ward off interest from the Hammers.

Michail Antonio is currently the only striker who David Moyes has at his disposal at the London Stadium.
And let’s be honest here, the 32-year-old is far from a natural, recognised centre-forward!
Moyes will undoubtedly be prioritising the addition of a new striker this summer. And it seems that the Scot could go shopping in the Championship again…
West Ham want bargain summer transfer window deal for Championship striker
Football League World, Stoke City hitman Jacob Brown is firmly on the Hammers’ radar.
Rangers, Burnley and Brentford are also apparently keen on signing the striker.
We believe that Brown would be a very decent addition to Moyes’s ranks at the London Stadium, albeit not a sensational one.
The Scotland international has bagged 13 goals and five assists in 49 games for Stoke so far this season (Transfermarkt).
Brown is a very hard-working forward and he is always willing to make tireless runs into the channels.
The 24-year-old is very strong when playing with his back to goal and possesses aplenty of pace.
On paper, he seems like the perfect striker for David Moyes.
The Scot has just 13 months remaining on his current deal with Stoke so if he fails to sign a new contract, he will surely be available for a bargain fee in the summer.
There will be questions asked if Jacob Brown is West Ham United’s only striker signing in the summer transfer window though.
