Hawthorn are making an "aggressive" push to acquire Gold Coast star Tom Lynch, according to Essendon legend Tim Watson.

After letting the Suns know what his intentions of leaving the club, Lynch will be looking to join either Hawthorn, Collingwood or Richmond.

โ€œIโ€™m hearing that they (Hawthorn) are very aggressive in their pursuit of Tom Lynch and what they potentially might offer,โ€ Watson told SEN Breakfast.

โ€œThey believe that might influence the Gold Coast Suns, who may be able to influence Tom Lynch as to where he should go, if in fact he believes it is one of those three clubs.

โ€œI think it would have to be maybe a couple of players as well. Iโ€™m hearing they are being aggressive in this space.โ€

According to The Herald Sun's Sam Edmund, Hawks coach Alastair Clarkson is rallying hard for Hawthorn to sign Lynch.

โ€œWhat Iโ€™ve been told about Hawthorn is Alastair Clarkson will not let it go,โ€ Edmund said.

โ€œIn fact, he is fanatical. He is like a dog with a bone. He thinks he is right in there.โ€

Where do you think Lynch will head to?
