West Ham have run into a tricky situation with young defender Harrison Ashby.
The 20-year-old was on the verge of leaving the club at the end of the transfer window, but a possible late move to Newcastle United was blocked by David Moyes.
West Ham are keen to tie the youngster to a new deal, but they don’t want to pay above the odds and destabilize the rest of the team.
Speaking to GiveMeSport, Dean Jones explained: “West Ham have to try to resolve the situation.
“They are very cautious about giving him a big new contract because of the knock-on effect it could have on other players within the organization. This is a situation that will continue for a while.”
The Scotland Under-21 international only has one year left on his contract and could leave West Ham for free if he does not sign a new deal with the Hammers.
Leeds United and Newcastle are interested in his services and both clubs inquired about the player late in the summer transfer window.
