Leif Davis is set to be a transfer target for West Ham this summer.
According to Give Me Sport, the Hammers are keeping tabs on the Ipswich Town defender ahead of the upcoming window.
The full-back has taken the jump up to the Championship in his stride this year, playing a crucial role in the Tractor Boys’ rise to a promotion challenge.
The Suffolk outfit is fighting for back-to-back promotions, having come up from League One last year.
Davis has contributed 17 assists and two goals from his 41 appearances in the Championship, with Kieran McKenna’s side sitting top of the table (all stats from Fbref).
Carlton Palmer makes Leif Davis transfer claim
Carlton Palmer expects Davis to remain with Ipswich if they gain promotion to the Premier League.
He has dismissed concerns over the 24-year-old’s defensive capabilities, likening him to Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold.
“It is reported that West Ham are preparing to make a bid for Ipswich Town left-back Leif Davis,” Palmer told FLW.
“Leif Davis has been outstanding for Ipswich Town this season.
“He’s been absolutely outstanding.
“It’s a difficult one because West Ham are a fantastic club and David Moyes is a fantastic manager, but this will be back-to-back promotions if Ipswich secure that, and it’s a three horse race between Ipswich, Leeds and Leicester City for the automatic spots.
“They’ll definitely be in the playoffs and, should Ipswich Town get promoted, I think it’s going to be very difficult [for West Ham to sign him].
