Endrick can take step closer to West Ham switch as agent begins talks over January transfer
West Ham can now step up their efforts to sign Endrick from Real Madrid in January.
Endrick has emerged as a target for West Ham in recent months as the need for attacking options continues at the London Stadium.
Nuno Espirito Santo is yet to land a steady forward line in East London, with Callum Wilson featuring for West Ham in their last three outings.
Jarrod Bowen hasn’t been at his best for West Ham, leaving the Hammers with a general lack of goals throughout the campaign.
The introduction of Endrick could make a difference, with talks potentially set to kickstart ahead of the winter window.
Endrick could transform West Ham
West Ham appear to want Endrick from Real Madrid, with an initial loan move potentially on the cards, moving closer to January.
The Brazil international has struggled for minutes this season, as Xabi Alonso seems reluctant to throw the youngster in.
Having played just 11 LaLiga minutes this term, a move away from the Bernabeu only looks increasingly likely in the coming months.
The Irons could take a risk and bring the 19-year-old in with a view to increasing the forward options available to them across the second half of the season.
Endrick would provide an injection of pace and youthful exuberance, which could prove to be precisely what Nuno needs right now.
If he were to join, it would likely be after an exit within the squad in E20, which is exactly where Niclas Fullkrug could come in.

The addition of the Brazilian on loan would come with assurances of first-team involvement and would likely result in someone else being excluded from the squad moving forward.
To bring Endrick in and move on, Fullkrug could prove to be a wise piece of business for everyone involved.
The Germany international has now been granted clearance by West Ham to look into options ahead of a winter exit, according to Sky Sports Germany.
Interest in his signature has emerged from Italy and the Bundesliga, with Wolfsburg and Augsburg linked already.
The latter has already made contact with the striker’s agent with a view to making a move happen in January.
His exit could prove to be the green light to increase measures to bring Endrick from Los Blancos to the London Stadium.
