Oh how we would all like this one to come together. And yes, if I can start by reassuring you this target of the Hammers is NOT thirty two with ageing achilles or dodgy hamstrings. He’s 23 and was the subject of a failed bid of £14 million by West Ham United in 2023.

Corinthians’ striker Yuri Alberto has been the subject of  serious interest from West Ham, Southampton and Wolves over the last two years. I just have a feeling that he is one of these strikers who will suddenly skyrocket in performance and price once he hits the Premier League. If Luis Guilherme was worth £25 million, what is the problem with chucking a similar £25 million on the table to secure his services?

Alberto, 23, has, remarkably, already got his goal tally into the twenties in all competitions this season – according to the report in tbrfootball.com he’s hoping for the Premier League to come knocking but he’s not going to just leap at the first offer:

“I’ve decided over the last few months that I’m going to take it one day at a time,” Alberto explains. “I’m very happy here but, if an offer comes along that’s positive for me and Corinthians and we can reach an agreement for the sale to happen, great.

“If not, I’m happy too. I have a dream and I believe that the longer I stay here, the more mature I’ll be to be able to live in the best way possible.”

Perfect for West Ham, I just hope we don’t look back and regret another one who slips through the net.

    JLo would wait until there are 3 games left of the season, start him and then take him at halftime ffs!

  • John Harrison says:

    Hopefully we can finally get him. Looks very fast and skilful on the clips. Would be a real threat alongside Bowen and Summerville.

    • Matt says:

      Fast and skilful and looks good in clips sounds exactly like the 🇧🇷 kid we already have that JLo hardly gives any minutes!

  • HammerDan says:

    Under Loopy, if he joins he will end up another flop, underperforming, injured or benched.

    If we don’t go for him and he goes somewhere else in the Prem, he will be a sensation and we’ll regret missing out.

    Which one will it be?

    • Matt says:

      JLo needs to be long gone before the January transfer window! Don’t trust him with the players now.

      The guy is totally clueless!
