Man Utd ‘offered’ Spurs, West Ham target in ‘significant transfer twist’ with INEOS ‘switching attention’

According to reports, Manchester United have been ‘offered’ the chance to sign Ajax forward Brian Brobbey amid interest from two Premier League rivals.
The Red Devils were consistently linked with Brobbey while former head coach Erik ten Hag was in charge as they previously worked together at Ajax.
However, this move has yet to come to fruition and other Premier League sides are in the race to sign the forward this month.
The 22-year-old shone last season as he scored 18 goals in his 30 Eredivisie appearances, but his form has dipped this term. He has only netted three goals in his 29 outings in all competitions and could be Premier League-bound.
Following the appointment of Graham Potter, West Ham was initially mooted as his most likely destination as they are in the market for a new forward.

The Hammers could face a fight with Spurs, though. On Friday afternoon, Fabrizio Romano revealed: “Understand Tottenham have also asked for Brian Brobbey loan deal conditions.
“He’s one of the options being considered while West Ham are already in direct talks with Ajax for loan + obligation.
“West Ham remain in contact, Spurs also made an enquiry to be informed.”
A move to Man Utd is also a possibility as a report from GiveMeSport claims they have been ‘offered’ the forward.

The report explains:
‘Manchester United are contemplating whether to fight off competition from West Ham United and other Premier League suitors for Ajax star Brian Brobbey after key figures at Old Trafford were offered the chance to pounce as the transfer deadline approaches, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.
‘Manchester United could make a last-gasp decision to beat West Ham to the acquisition of Brobbey in a significant transfer twist, according to GMS sources, after both sides joined Tottenham Hotspur and Everton in being contacted by intermediaries in a bid to discover the level of interest heading into the final days of the winter window.
‘Although the Hammers have opened discussions over a temporary move, as Potter aims to bolster the squad he inherited from London Stadium predecessor Julen Lopetegui earlier this month, Amorim has an opportunity to pounce because Ajax are only interested in selling the striker or sanctioning a loan which includes an obligation to buy.
‘The Eredivisie title-chasers’ stance could play into Manchester United’s hands as their preference is to recruit a new marksman on a permanent basis. Ajax are in a strong negotiating position as the Netherlands international still has two-and-a-half-years remaining on a contract.
‘Manchester United are set to switch their attention towards bringing in a new frontman after initially prioritising the acquisition of a left wing-back, GMS sources have learned, and they are among a host of sides to have found out more about Brobbey’s availability as the transfer deadline edges closer.’
