West Ham United to target Brazil as transfer news emerges
West Ham United will target the Brazilian market for transfers moving forward after securing a deal for Sau Paulo defender Luizao, according to journalist Dean Jones.
Making transfer plans in emerging football markets is always wise and shows the strides the Hammers hierarchy has made in recent years.
Jones confessed that fans should be aware that Brazilian players will “crop up regularly” in West Ham United transfer rumours for the foreseeable.
“This is a market West Ham have been looking into quite closely,” said Jones as quoted by GIVEMESPORT.
“Both Luizao and Pablo Maia have emerged from extensive scouting that has been done in that region.
“I think we should probably be aware Brazilians will crop up regularly in West Ham transfer rumours for the foreseeable future. They see a lot of possibilities there and they see it as a good market to tap into.”
Brazilians and West Ham.
West Ham United’s interest in the Brazilian market is not surprising, as Brazil is known for producing some of the best football talents in the world.
Many Brazilian players have made a name for themselves in the top European leagues, and the country has a rich footballing history, having won the FIFA World Cup a record five times.
West Ham’s pursuit of Brazilian talent is evidently part of the club’s wider strategy to improve its squad and compete at the highest level.
The club has made significant investments in its academy and scouting network in recent years, and its focus on the Brazilian market is a testament to the quality of talent that can be found there.
Interest in the Brazilian football market is a smart move, as it allows the club to tap into a rich pool of talent and potentially secure the services of some of the best young players in the world.
It will be interesting to see how West Ham’s investments in the Brazilian market pay off in the coming years.
