West Ham United have tabled a ‘lucrative’ offer for former Manchester United academy graduate Mipo Odubeko, according to reports.

The 16-year-old striker is currently without a club after leaving the Red Devils in the summer, and it seems the Hammers are in pole position to snap him up.

Europe’s elite are said to be circling, but Football Insider claim Odubeko and his representatives are in advanced talks with the London club over a potential move.

It is said to be a profitable deal and, with the promise of a pathway into the first team as they look to fend off interest from the likes of Juventus and Atelico Madrid.

United were desperate to tie the youngster down to a new contract after he smashed in 35 goals last season for their age-group sides.

The Republic of Ireland Under-17 striker rejected a two-year deal from the club, making him one of the hottest free agents on the market.

Odubeko reportedly believes he is on the brink of first team football, leaving West Ham in a strong position to complete a deal.

Strong, clinical and swift, the striker is also qualified to play for Nigeria and could well opt to pledge his allegiance away from the Boys in Green.
