Argentinian striker Jonathan Calleri is in advanced talks with West Ham over a possible season long loan deal or an outright purchase claims the Brazilian media. The former Boca Juniors striker’s rights were acquired for €11m by an investment group who registered him with Uruguaian side, Deportivo Maldonado. He is currently on loan to Brazilian team, São Paulo with 8 goals in 9 Copa Libertadores games.
The report on the Brazilian football website Lance.com.br says: “Calleri, is closer to move to England than Italy. Adding that the group of investors who own the rights to the striker are negotiating to move him to English football, more precisely at West Ham. The negotiations are at an advanced stage although there is a supposed agreement with Inter Milan. His preference is for Italian football. His family has roots are in the Latin country and the striker believes that is where his style of play can develop better”
Calleri should be granted an Italian passport this summer – he qualifies via his grandparents – which will mean he can move to the Premier League without any need for a work permit. He would be unlikely to get a work permit on other grounds as he is yet to be capped at full level by Argentina.
It should come as no surprise that Spurs have also been linked with the 22 year player with Mauricio Pochettino recommending him to Spurs chairman Daniel Levy. The striker was previously linked with West Ham in the January transfer window.

Some crazy goals, but it looks like Sunday league football. The goalkeeper is always out of position and there is hardly a defensive line
Zarate was one of the top goalscorers when he was still there….can’t read anything into that clip
Won the champions league with him on football manager. All I’m saying..
Carlos Fierro used to be my Champions League go to striker….and WHU becomes the richest football club after 10 seasons while Freddy Adu turns into the new Pele.
Mauro Icardi is the Argentine Striker I hope sign, anytime Argentina and 3rd party ownership are mentioned it gives me the shivers
Not another Tevez position please,
Sooner get a player with proven Premier goal record
Wilson,Bony ,Ayew, even Walcott,
Agree Icardi looks better but a lot more money,
We all sh*t ourselves once third party ownership or a similar deal is in place haha.I have heard of the geezer but not seen him play.I should watch this clip I guess then judge he is a MINGER 😉
