West Ham United have been linked with a move for striker Graziano Pelle.

Alan Brazil has told the Sports Breakfast Show, which was broadcast on TalkSPORT on 29th January, that West Ham United have ‘no chance’ of signing Graziano Pelle.

West Ham are looking to improve their strike force, by bringing in a new forward this month.

Gianluca Di Marzio have suggested that West Ham want Pelle, who is currently playing in China.

But Brazil does not believe the Hammers will sanction a deal, as Pelle’s wages are too vast.

“He’s getting nearly £14 million a year in China, and West Ham are interested, but how are they going to play that? No chance for me,” Brazil said.

West Ham have been quiet in the transfer window so far, much to the frustration of the London Stadium crowd.

West Ham have only brought in Joao Mario so far this month, with the midfielder arriving on loan from Inter Milan.

Hammers owner David Sullivan released a statement suggesting that more additions will be made before the end of the month, but whether Moyes will have the funds to section a deal for Pelle remains to be seen.

West Ham are currently in 11th place in the Premier League table, and still have work to do, if they are going to confirm their survival in the top flight.
