The Warrington native is enjoying one of the best campaigns of his career. He has thus far scored five goals in his 15 appearances in the English Championship.

But with his contract expiring at the end of the season, it remains to be seen if he’ll remain till June or seal a move in January. Either way, the Englishman won’t be lacking suitors, explains TBR Football. The source reveals that West Ham United have rekindled their interest in their longtime transfer target. He also has other Premier League suitors in the shape of Fulham and Brighton.
