West Ham United are encountering strong competition for Corinthians winger Wesley this summer, with Atletico Madrid also in the race to secure the Brazilian’s services.

Despite the managerial uncertainty at West Ham, Director of Football Tim Steidten is reportedly keen on advancing the transfer, aware of Atletico’s interest.

Dubbed the ‘Brazilian Mbappe,’ Wesley has quickly risen to prominence at Corinthians, establishing himself as a key player in the first team. To date, he has appeared in 58 matches for Corinthians, scoring six goals and providing three assists across various competitions.

His current contract with Corinthians extends until the end of 2027, which may complicate West Ham’s chances of securing him for a bargain in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Wesley has shown potential that suggests he could become a world-class winger. His acquisition would be a significant asset for West Ham in the long term, and he already possesses the talent to compete for a regular starting position at the London Stadium in future seasons.

Hammers Chat my first game was West Ham 10-0 Bury . . . seriously!
We than went and bought Bury's central defender 😬⚒️ Irons

Started Hammers Chat alongside my partner in crime Geo back in 2014 and brough in to Claret & Hugh by my old mate Hughie to produce videos a couple of years later.

Give West Ham opinions on Sky Sports News and even did a bit of moonlighting on BBC Football Focus.

Sometimes feature on BBC Radio 5 Live and once ate a biscuit in Tony Gales shed.

Connoisseur of salted caramel doughnuts and I love a Sloppy Giuseppe pizza although I'm slightly suspicious where the name came from.

When I'm not moaning about West Ham I can be found walking a dog that looks like a sheep and tinkering with pinball machines.

    No, no, not Lopetgui..too similar tobMoyes’ boring tactics. We need a young modern for fast flowing x exciting football, something we missed for long time!! We will never be on top of league table if we carry on like this. Come on Sully, let Tim choose!!
