We discovered this morning that three clubs are interested in signing West Ham winger Luis Guilherme in the summer.
The Brazilian wonderkid was signed from Palmeiras for a little over £20m as part of a triple exodus that saw Endrick sign for Real Madrid and Estêvão agree to join Chelsea. The trio were labelled the three best youngsters in Brazil, but unfortunately for Guilherme, he has failed to break into the Hammers’ team.
West Ham rejected two £20m+ offers for the rapid winger in January, with Potter deciding he wanted a closer look at the player. However, with the Hammers’ gaffer starting few attackers as he looks to repair the Irons’ creaking defence, Guilherme hasn’t had a look-in.
Claret & Hugh have learnt this morning that not only will Flamengo return with a fresh bid in the summer, but they’ll be joined by two other clubs in the bidding.
Shakhtar Donetsk and Turkish club Galatasaray are both expected to make a bid for the 19-year-old wonderkid, although it is unlikely the Hammers will get their money back after a full year’s worth of inactivity from a player whose promise hasn’t translated to minutes on the pitch.
