Aston Villa, Leeds and Tottenham are battling to sign Sonny Perkins, with the promising young forward increasingly likely to leave West Ham because of a disagreement over his wage demands.
The 18-year-old striker made three appearances in all competitions for David Moyes’s side last season and underlined his potential by scoring 12 goals at under-23 level. However, West Ham are struggling to convince Perkins to sign a new deal, with his contract set to expire at the end of this month, and the uncertainty has caught the attention of other Premier League clubs.
