West Ham moving fast to get ‘extremely dangerous’ signing over the line
West Ham United have not wasted any time in making moves for players in wake of the 2023/24 campaign coming to an end.
The Hammers finished ninth in the Premier Lea🐼gue table and missed out on European qualification following two great seasons in Europe.
West Ham have also brought in a new manager, with Julen Lopetegui taking the Hammers reins in wake of David Moyes꧃’ departure.
With tꦰhat in mind, the West Ham hierarchy𓂃 will be eager to bolster their ranks and give Lopetegui the best chance of hitting the ground running at the club.
It hasn’t been plain sailing for the Hammers on the transfer front, with a move for Flamengo defender Fab💯ricio Bruno seemingly falling through.
There have also been reports doing the rounds suggesting West Ham were struggling to get a deal for Palmeiras attacker Luis Guilherme over the line.
However, it looks as though the Hammers are back on track with regards to a potential move for the 18-year-old, accꦯording to new reports.
For instance, have reported that ‘a deal is close,♐ despite suggestions it had broken down on Monday’.
The report added that West Ham ‘still fear a late hijack so are rushing to lock Guilherme in’, aꦉnd that no formal offer has yet been made by Saudi Pro League clubs.
West Ham are allegedly in advanced talks over a deal worth €30million,ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ with Tim Steidten leading talks in Brazil. However, they remain cautious until the p🐎aperwork is signed.
Likewise, have reported that a deal is ‘almost done’ despite rumours cl🤪aiming the attempt to sign Guilherme was in danger of being called off.
Who is West Ham target Luis Guilherme?
It has🅰n’t been plain sailing, and it’s not over the line, but West Ham certainly seemꦅ to be on the right track regarding a move for Luis Guilherme.
The 18-year-old has risen through the Palmeiras ranks and broke into the first-team last year. He has made 44 competitive s🐻enior appearances to date for the club.
In 2022, ‘s Jacek Kulig wꦿrote an in-✱depth scouting report about Guilherme, giving him a 9 out of 10 potential rating.
Kulig likened Guilherme to former Arsenal ace Henrikh Mkhitaryan and deemed him a “highly technical and creative player” who is “extremely dangerous on the counter” a🍬nd a “spectacular dribbler”.
Let’s see what happens in the coming weeks, maybe even the coming days. Hopefully it won’t be l📖ong before we get that all-important ‘here w💦e go’.
