West Ham has been linked with Andre Almeida who had a great season for Portuguese champions Benfica.
According to the Daily Express, West Ham and Everton are both keen on signing the eight-time international.
Benfica are asking £8m for Almeida, who can play both left and right-back in addition to defensive midfield.
West Ham could seemingly see Almeida as a utility player to cover a number of positions.
Wolves have also been linked with the 28-year-old with the article saying they have the greatest pull for Almeida with countryman Nuno Espirito Santo in charge at Molineux. Leicester City, Southampton and Brighton and Hove Albion also said to be interested.
Almeida featured in 53 games for Benfica in all competitions, scoring two goals and adding 12 assists in 33 Liga NOS matches alone.
The Portuguese full-back has got a contract with Benfica until 2021 having joined the club on a free transfer in 2011.
With his primary position as right back, we are not sure on this one with Ryan Fredericks in great form and Pablo Zabaleta signing a one-year extension to his contract.
Seems like us and Everton are gonna buy about two dozen 28 year olds this summer.
West Ham United are being linked with all and sundry , more links than a Anchor Chain .
Still nothing certain or concrete . And we are forever being tied to Everton on the transfer market ;; unbelievable .
Good player butbi don’t see why we aren’t looking at Enock Kwateng on a free from Nantes. He is fast strong can cross is solid defensively like Wan-Bissaka actually similar styles & can cover CB. At only 22yo be a great grab.
West Ham Fan 32 if read this Mario Hermoso got his Spain call up & now PSG Bayern & Arsenal want him. He is so good.
