West Ham United are one of the Premier League teams interested in Nottingham Forest starlet Olivier Burke, according to The Mirror.

The flying winger has caught the attention of visiting scouts with electric displays at the City Ground and is being tipped to be a star of the future.

Burke is already a Scotland international despite only being 19 and has terrorised opposition defences over the last 12 months.

The latest report suggests that a host of Premier League teams are keeping a close eye on the Kircaldy born starlet, including Liverpool and Arsenal.

However, West Ham are also accredited as an interested party and would bring Burke immediately to the London Stadium rather than loaning him back to Forest if a deal could be agreed.

Slaven Bilic’s men have had success in dealing with the City Ground outfit in the past, with Michail Antonio landed from the Championship outfit last summer.
