CandH Exclusive: Irons confirm the defender they want

Luizão

CandH Exclusive by Hughie Southon

West Ham have this afternoon confirmed exclusively to ClaretandHugh that the club is on its way towards making a first winter window signing.

The admit the club is moving fotward in their bid to sign Sao Paulo defender Luizão , a  defensive midfielder who may be seen as an eventual or more immediate replacement for Declan Rice should he depart this summer,

The highly rated South American  is also fancied by Porto, Benfica, Fulham and Spanish clubs who, according to various sources, have all made approaches for Luizão in the past few months.

He is becoming a free agent at the end of January, when his contract with São Paulo expires, and even though the player and his staff would like the Brazilian side to have some kind of financial compensation for his departure, the talks between the clubs did not develop.

IG claims that West Ham are willing to speak to São Paulo to speak about the percentage of a future transfer, which could maybe bring forward the player’s arrival in London.

And a key source at the London Stadium told CandH “It’s not 100% done, but we are looking at it.”
