West Ham open to Luis Guilherme exit amid transfer interest from Saudi Pro League | OneFootball

Brazilian wonderkid could depart as Hammers plot move for new forward

West Ham are prepared to sell summer signing Luis Guilherme.

The teenage forward only arrived at the club seven months ago following a move worth up to £26million from Palmeiras.

Prior to joining the Hammers on a five-year contract, the 18-year-old is understood to have received interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League.

Having struggled for first-team minutes, it’s understood West Ham are prepared to sell the forward this month.

Saudi-based teams are said to remain keen on the player, who has been handed only 43 minutes of first-team football this season.

West Ham are actively trying to sign a striker this month and Standard Sport understands Fulham’s Rodrigo Muniz is viewed as a possible target.

Asked about potential incomings this month, manager Graham Potter told a press conference on Thursday: “If we've got anything to report we'll tell our supporters, but our main focus for now is on the players who are here.

“You've got to go through checklists when looking at a player. It's a complicated window, and with lots of games in quick succession, my focus has to be on that.

“I'm happy with the squad, and the approach of the players. For me it's been about getting to know them. I know more than I did this time last week, but that process continues.

“Every club's the same - you always want to improve. My focus is on what's happening here, and on getting better. That's not to say we're not looking, but it has to be right for us.”
