West Ham to upgrade Browne deal as RB Leipzig, Napoli keen

West Ham are drawing up a new contract offer for Marcus Browne.

The Daily Mail says the Hammers are ready to offer Browne a new contract as the young forward continues to impress for the Under-23s side.

Browne scored four goals against Everton on Monday night in front of watching scouts from RB Leipzig, Leverkusen, Napoli and Sevilla.

It is understood Leipzig, who have taken Ademola Lookman on loan and previously signed Oliver Burke, are especially keen to secure more British talent.

But West Ham insiders believe the 20-year-old, rated at £5million, can make the step up to senior level and want to see him progress next season.

Though he signed a three-and-a-half year contract in January 2017 fresh talks on an improved deal are expected.
