Queens Park Rangers reported interest in signing West Ham United centre back James ‘Tonks’ Tomkins has been ignored by West Ham.
The 22-year-old centre half has been in fine form in the opening half of the season putting in a string of impressive performances.
Such performances were sure to attract the interest of other clubs and QPR are the first to make a move for the player.
Rangers manager Neil Warnock said he values at Tompkin’s ‘around the £3million mark’.
However that valuation has been laughed off by West Ham United, with an unnamed insider telling Harris Harris of ESPN that “we wouldn’t sell him for that” adding, “he has nearly three years left on his contract, he’s not for sale.”
I honestly hope that we don’t go back to the days of selling our best young players. Tompkins is a great player in the making as far as I am concerned and we need to keep players like him to compete if/when we get back in the Premier League.
