ClaretandHugh can confirm that West ham have zero interest in buying Lucas Pratto who was linkd with the club in morning reports.
The Sun reported that the club are set to make a shock £12 million bid for Brazil-based Argentinian currently with Atletico Miniero
However, a key insider at the club contacted us this morning to make it clear that there is no interest in him whatsoever.
This is hardly a big surprise as the striker, 28, has played only once in Europe and was a major flop with Genoa back in 2011-12 when he managed just one goal in 14 games before returning to South America.
ClaretandHugh was told: “We haven’t looked at the player – he is of no interest – our sights are set elsewhere.”
More of a concern is the news I hear of us being prepared to sell Ashley Fletcher and no one on the forums raising that. It would be a massive mistake to let him go, so hope this is not true.
