West Ham to step up efforts to sign Endrick as talks start ahead of Real Madrid exit
Endrick could now be edging closer to a winter switch to West Ham.
West Ham have shown interest in Endrick as the Hammers look to add to their attacking ranks at the London Stadium.
Nuno Espirito Santo needs some inspiration after his West Ham side lost 2-0 to Brentford in a dismal performance on Monday.
Endrick could prove to be exactly that for West Ham after what has been a difficult period under Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid this season.
The Irons may be on their way to landing Endrick as a transfer update emerged well ahead of the January transfer window.
Endrick talks open at Real Madrid amid West Ham interest
Endrick looks destined to leave Real Madrid after failing to play a single minute in LaLiga since May.
The Brazil international has been an unused substitute in eight games this campaign, most recently being left on the bench against Getafe on Sunday.
It is little surprise that the 19-year-old wants to move on, and it could be the East London club that benefits from the situation.
The Hammers’ chances have taken a step up after Fabrizio Romano reported on 21 October that Real Madrid exit talks have already opened ahead of the winter window.
Endrick is expected to leave the Bernabeu in January as he goes in search of a loan move to help earn himself a place in the Brazil squad for the 2026 World Cup.
West Ham could now swoop in and benefit from these departure discussions and land the signing of the teenager in January.
Endrick could be electric for West Ham
There is certainly an excellent young talent there up for the taking despite a frustrating run since Alonso took over as head coach.
Endrick’s debut season was joyous for a teenager coming out of Brazil and straight into arguably the best team in the world.
If the Brazilian could replicate that sort of output in claret and blue across the second half of the season, he could prove to be exactly what the claret and blue outfit needs.
His injection of pace in behind and youthful exuberance could be a sizable boost to the Irons’ prospects moving deeper into the season.
Relegation is a genuine fear, and it could be Endrick who comes in to carry the Irons away from the drop zone.
