Real Madrid’s Endrick will thrive at West Ham as dressing room footage emerges from Brazil
Endrick could become a star at West Ham if he joins on loan in January.
West Ham showed an interest in Endrick in the summer of 2024, but Tim Steidten failed to get a move over the line.
The Hammers instead opted to bring in Niclas Fullkrug from Borussia Dortmund in what has been a failed transfer for all parties.
This could see West Ham go back in for Endrick this season after a difficult start to the season in the Premier League.
Endrick could realise his potential if given the chance at the London Stadium, based on a previous relationship in Brazil.
Endrick and Lucas Paqueta friendship on show in footage
Endrick has received glowing reviews from Roberto Carlos, among others, in the past, demonstrating the high standard he can achieve.
This truly hasn’t been seen throughout his spell at Real Madrid after completing a highly anticipated move from Palmeiras.
Xabi Alonso clearly has little faith in the 19-year-old after failing to utilise him in a single match so far this season.
The Brazilian has still registered 14 caps for the senior national team and has scored three goals for the Selecao.
This has seen him form a positive relationship with his international colleagues, including West Ham star Lucas Paqueta.
Footage emerged from the dressing room back in September 2024, showcasing Vinicius Jr. and the Hammers man poking fun at Endrick.
The pair joked and referred to the Real Madrid teenager as “Bobby” and “Charlton” in relation to previous comments made by the young forward.
What did West Ham target Endrick say about Bobby Charlton?
It is pretty bizarre that a Brazilian wonderkid has previously spoken out in glowing terms about an English legend like Charlton.
Endrick spoke out about the Manchester United legend after netting his first goal for Brazil against England at Wembley.
After the full-time whistle in the capital, Endrick revealed how special it was to have scored at the home of English football like one of his idols.
He said: “A guy who is an idol here is also Bobby Charlton.
“Playing in the stadium that Bobby [Charlton] played, scoring on the day Ronaldo debuted. These are very important memories for me.”
It is a testament to the character of the teen that he has paid respect to such a legend, even if it raised eyebrows in the Brazil dressing room.
West Ham could benefit from Paqueta and Endrick link up
There is clearly a bond there already between Endrick and Paqueta.
West Ham are in need of any positivity, something that has already begun with Nuno Espirito Santo coming in as head coach.
The Portuguese manager could benefit from having new and exciting relationships within the squad, and that could be seen with the addition of Endrick.
Having a link to the Irons’ attacking midfielder could help get the best out of both players and boost the E20 club in front of goal.
