Well-placed Hammers resource, Claret and Hugh, quote South American sources suggesting that West Ham United is looking at a potential transfer of Corinthians Brazilian striker, Yuri Alberto. The 23-year-old has a market value of just €11m, and has scored 11 goals and provided four assists in 26 games in all competitions this season.

West Ham is urgently looking to renew their forward line due to the nearing contract ends of Michail Antonio and Danny Ings, and the underperformance of Niclas Fullkrug. They previously attempted negotiations with Corinthians and are now keen to take the lead in securing Yuri Alberto with an initial proposal of 14 million pounds possibly coming back on the table.
