Colombian report still wide of the mark
Back in mid-May Brazilian journalist, Gustavo Henrique suggested the Hammers were close on agreeing on a deal to sign the player for €30m saying personal terms were already in place.
A bemused senior club source rubbished the speculation that we were interested in the player in question.
Commenting on the report that the midfielder was expected to sign a four-year deal with West Ham he made it clear there were no negotiations in process at all and was entirely confused by the report saying: “Really don’t know where this one has come from because there is nothing in it as far as anyone here is concerned here.”
On Monday Gustavo released a new video on youtube insisting Flamengo will accept West Ham’s offer and he will join West Ham after the Copa America.
