West Ham United have been observing Hayden Hackney's performances last season, and the club is reportedly interested in acquiring him. The 23-year-old midfielder from Middlesbrough has attracted the attention of several Premier League clubs, including West Ham United, Manchester United, Crystal Palace, and Tottenham. Graeme Bailey suggested that Middlesbrough might consider selling Hackney for a fee in the region of £20-25 million, particularly if they wish to financially support their manager Rob Edwards. Although Middlesbrough does not need the funds to remain financially stable, the club's academy frequently sells homegrown talents like Hackney. West Ham's interest in Hackney aligns with their ambition to bolster their midfield, and they are among the clubs closely monitoring his situation this summer.
