Fabrizio Romano: West Ham United in talks to sign one of three future stars who play together
West Ham United are in talks with Palmerias to sign Luis Guilherme with a £25.5 million deal tabled ahead of a summer transfer, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The transfer specialist has shared an image (30 May) of the Brazilian side who feature three youngsters who are set for big moves in the window.
Hammers-bound Guilherme has been pictured with Endrick who is joining Real Madrid in July and Estavo Willian who has a deal agreed with Chelsea.
West Ham officials are in Brazil conducting talks with the 18-year-old’s representatives ahead of a potential move.
Who is West Ham target Luis Guilherme?
The Brazilian has been heavily tipped for European football ahead of the transfer window opening due to his versatility.
For Palmerias Guilherme has played on both wings, as a number ten and a striker throughout last and the current season.
Since making his debut in the Serie A he has gone on to make 44 appearances and score one goal in all competitions [FotMob].
His only goal came from an impressive strike from range to complete a comeback from 2-0 down against Independiente Del Valle.
Playing off the right allows Guilherme to cut inside onto his left foot and shoot from range and he could do so more regularly.
What catches the eye about the Brazilian is his speed which allows him to take on players and create chances for his teammates.
Although he has never played in Europe and is very young, his versatility and ability show that he could prove to be a great signing.
