Portsmouth were interested in signing Daniel Cummings, and he had been in discussions with them. However, West Ham is currently leading the competition to sign him. The 18-year-old Celtic striker is set to become a free agent at the end of the season, and West Ham is aiming to secure a pre-contract agreement. Cummings, who is highly regarded, could become a valuable long-term addition to West Ham, especially since it would be a free transfer. The club considers him a potential key player for the first team, and securing his signature would be seen as an excellent business move.
