Report: West Ham United are still interested in Barcelona striker Martin Braithwaite

According to Sport, West Ham United are still interested in Barcelona striker Martin Braithwaite, but the club won’t sell him below the £16 million they paid Leganes for his signature in February.

The Denmark international was signed on an emergency basis after the January transfer window closed, with long-term injuries to Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele allowing Barcelona the chance to make the move.

Nevertheless, Braithwaite’s agents were already looking at the possible options for a summer move prior to the coronavirus pandemic, as the Spanish club signed him because of his versatility and good sell-on value should they choose to move him on in the future.
