Luis Guilherme is said to be exploring his options ahead of the upcoming transfer windows, ahead of a potential West Ham exit.

The attacking midfielder is yet to leave his mark at the London Stadium since his move last season.

To date, the 19-year-old has only made three Premier League appearances this campaign, totalling to 54 minutes of action after Guilherme struggled with injuries at the London Stadium earlier this season.

So far, this has been a disappointing experience for both parties, with Guilherme joining West Ham for £25.5million with high potential.

Now, this is seemingly coming to an end, with the Brazilian potentially moving on in January.

Luis Guilherme plans to find a new club by 2026

According to Trivela on 12 November, given his current situation at West Ham, Guilherme is exploring his options.

The attacker believes that, given his East London club’s current situation, opportunities are unlikely, and a move away in January has not been ruled out. 

  • Guilherme joined West Ham last season
  • To date he has made 16 appearances for the Hammers
  • However, Guilherme is yet to register a goal or an assist during his time at the London Stadium

If this doesn’t happen, the plan is for him to find a new club by the end of the season.

In the summer, Guilherme did have the opportunity to leave the London Stadium, with Porto and Feyenoord making offers. However, he chose to stay and fight for his place, something that now looks unwise.

Going forward, Guilherme would rather stay in Europe than move back to Brazil, despite the attacker being approached by multiple clubs from his homeland in recent months.

Guilherme has shown signs he can be a top star

According to Fotmob on 12 November, many of Guilherme’s stats in the Premier League last season were impressive.

His dribble success rate and shots per game were just two standouts despite struggling in many matches.

Therefore, it is clear that there is a player there, and the Hammers could regret letting the attacker go in the long term.

It must be remembered that Guilherme is only 19 years old, and still has plenty of time to grow and become a top player.
