West Ham United are interested in the 30-year-old English midfielder Josh Brownhill, who is a target for a return to English football from Al Shabab. The midfielder's future in the Saudi Pro League is being examined. According to sources, Al Shabab is looking to balance its finances after signing Thomas Partey, and Brownhill is viewed as a sellable asset. West Ham United have a long-standing interest in the former Burnley captain and are assessing midfield options amid expectations that James Ward-Prowse will return to Southampton. Brownhill’s energy, leadership, and goal-scoring ability from midfield have maintained West Ham’s interest in him. Other clubs, including Hull City, Coventry City, Birmingham City, Southampton, Wrexham, and Wolves, are also keeping informed on his situation. Brownhill joined the Saudi club in September 2025 and has a contract until 2027. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €8.00m.
