West Ham United are reportedly now ready to put a firm bid down on the table for Pablo Maia ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to football journalist André Hernan, Sao Paulo ace Pablo Maia is firmly on West Ham’s radar, and the East London outfit have promised to return with a concrete offer for the 21-year-old after making initial enquiries.

Hammers boss David Moyes desperately needs to bolster his central midfield ranks at the London Stadium this summer, with Declan Rice being heavily tipped to leave.
Maia is someone who has been linked with a move to West Ham before.
And it seems as though the Hammers are now ready to make a concrete offer for the talented 21-year-old midfielder…
West Ham promise to make concrete bid for Pablo Maia
Respected South American journalist André Hernan reckons that the Hammers are ready to try and sign the 21-year-old this summer, but we could face competition from Fulham for his signature.
Sao Paulo allegedly want around £9.5 million for Pablo Maia (Bolavip Brasil). That seems like really good value to me.
He really is an outstanding young talent, and would be a hugely exciting addition for us.
Maia is a defensive midfielder and is extremely tenacious in the tackle. He has stamina, energy and dynamism in abundance and has really impressive technical ability as well – as you would expect for a Brazilian.
For £9.5 million, I really don’t think West Ham can go wrong by signing Pablo Maia this summer.
However, it must be said that it will be a huge disappointment if the 21-year-old is brought in as a direct replacement for Declan Rice.
Moyes must sign an elite central midfielder to accompany the potential arrival of Maia this summer, if we are to make real progress as a club.
