West Ham have been linked with Brentford star Josh Dasilva – and some of the club’s fans on Twitter have responded with huge positivity to the speculation.

Dasilva is a highly-rated midfielder that is one of the standout players at Brentford, who are currently second in the Championship table fighting for the promotion positions.

According to the Guardian, West Ham are keeping tabs on the 22-year-old ahead of the January transfer window.

The report explains that they would not allow him to exit on the cheap, plus his current contract with the second-tier club doesn’t expire until 2024.

Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins is thriving in the Premier League after leaving Brentford in the summer for a big move and they also granted the exit of exciting winger Said Benrahma, as they continue to develop quality players.

West Ham signed Benrahma on an initial loan in the summer with a view to a permanent and there is a lot of evidence to show there are top talents ready to be snapped up from the Championship.

Dasilva looks like another rising star on the books at Brentford, who is tailor-made to be a success in the Premier League.

The all-action central midfielder is a left-footer with great technical ability on the ball and he possesses an attacking threat in the final third, but it’s his physical attributes and energy that really catches the eye.

He’s a driving force in a Brentford side eyeing promotion and he recently scored his fourth goal of the season against Newcastle United to help qualify for the Carabao Cup semi-finals.

A selection of West Ham supporters on social media believe that the Brentford enforcer could add some extra guile and steel to their team.
