Newcastle United and West Ham United are keen on Club Brugge hitman Wesley.

Club Brugge hitman Wesley looks set to move on this summer, with the man himself knowing he’s on the move having cried as he left the pitch in his final game for the club last weekend.

The Brazilian target man smashed 17 goals in 48 games for Club Brugge this season, picking up 10 assists in the process too.

At 22, it’s now time for Wesley to move on and challenge himself in another league, especially with ambitions of playing for the Brazilian national team.

Wesley has been linked with a number of moves already, and The Chronicle report that Newcastle United are battling West Ham United for his signature.

Lazio are also in the mix, and agent Paulo Nehmy has now been talking to Lazio site The Laziali about his client’s future, confirming Lazio are interested.

Nehmy admitted that he has already had a conversation with Newcastle about a deal for Wesley, but manager Rafael Benitez needs to announce his intention to stay in order to strike a deal.

Nehmy also added that West Ham have made contact, meaning the rumours appear to be true, and ther e could be a major battle for the striker’s signature.

“Yes, it’s true too, we already had a conversation,” said Nehmy. “But, Rafa Benitez needs to renew his contract. West Ham have also made contact,” he added.
