Former Manchester United youngster 'in talks with West Ham United'

West Ham United are reportedly in talks with former Manchester United forward Mipo Odubeko.

The 16-year-old scored 35 times for Man United's academy last season but left the Red Devils in July after failing to agree a new contract at Old Trafford.

According to 90min, the 20-time English champions are still attempting to convince the Under-17 Republic of Ireland international to pen a contract, but the teenager is not interested in a return.

The report claims that West Ham are now in talks with Odubeko's representatives over a potential move, although the likes of Juventus, Borussia Dortmund and Juventus are also said to have expressed an interest.

United are thought to be due compensation payments in addition to a sell-on clause should the Hammers complete a deal for the youngster.

Newcastle United, Feyenoord and Burnley have also previously been credited with an interest in the attacker, who scored for his former club's Under-18 side against Blackburn Rovers Under-18s back in February.
