West Ham United could still see some transfer activity before the end of the month, with the young striker Luis Guilherme closely linked to an outlet, although he only joined the summer.
Although the Premier League transfer window has closed, the Brazil window remains open until February 28, giving clubs the opportunity to do business. ACording to espnThey are already in London on a possible step for Guilherme in Botafogo.
The 18 -year -old arrived at West Ham last summer of Palmeiras in an agreement worth 25 million, but he fought during the minutes of the first team. Although he was visited by promises in a brief cameo against Chelsea earlier this week, he has not yet settled in the workforce.
Botafogo’s interest is promoted by its owner, the North -American billionaire John Textor, who also owns participations in Crystal Palace and Lyon. It is believed that the financial muscle has to make an agreement if West Ham is open to negotiations.
The possible departure of Guilherme would come at an interesting time for the hammers. Graham Potter continues to seek to strengthen his template after carrying Evan Ferguson on loan from Brighton and remembering James Ward-Prows of Nottingham Forest. However, now the signings will have to be expected until the summer.
The club also saw the return of James Ward-Prowse and Maxwel Cornet of their respective loans, but beyond that, the Potter manager received little financial support to strengthen the workforce during the winter window.
With less than three weeks left until the Brazilian window closes, Guilherme’s future is still uncertain. Whether you keep to fight for a place in West Ham or a early return to South America, it will depend on how the progress of conversations in the coming days.
West Ham’s target struggles this season
Despite the limited business, Ferguson’s arrival addressed a key concern: West Ham struggles in front of the goal. With Niclas Fullkrug, Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen left out at various points, attacking the depth became a pressing problem. However, even with these absences, Guilherme has not yet been given an extension to the first team.
As are things, the 18 -year -old future at the London stadium is still uncertain: a transfer to the Botafogo Brazilian club should pass before the transfer window closes on February 28.
