West Ham stuck in bizarre transfer situation with Luis Guilherme
It was reported that the Hammers were unlikely to sign the teenager with Saudi clubs looking to pull off an eleventh-hour hijack, according to Ben Jacobs.
On one hand, it is being reported that the deal is on track and should progress in the coming days.
On the other hand, it has been suggested by other sources that the Hammers may not sign Guilherme due to the financial muscle of Saudi Arabian clubs looking to hijack the deal at the last minute.
The conflicting claims make it difficult to determine the exact status of the transfer.
It is possible that negotiations are indeed progressing, but the interest from Saudi Arabian clubs could complicate matters.
The Hammers may need to act swiftly and decisively to secure the services of Guilherme, or they could risk losing out on the talented forward.
The situation is fluid, and it remains to be seen how it will unfold in the coming days.
