According to HLN, Cardiff City, West Ham United and Newcastle United are interested in signing Wesley Moraes from Club Brugge.

It has been reported that Neil Warnock’s Cardiff have made an offer for the 22-year-old forward, but the Belgian club have turned it down.

The Bluebirds’ Premier League rivals, West Ham and Newcastle, are also reported to be interested in securing the services of the Brazilian forward.

According to HLN, the Hammers and the Magpies’ interest in the youngster is less concrete, but it has been reported that it could change quickly with Brugge considering selling the forward in the summer of 2019.

Promising talent

Signing a player in the middle of the season from the Belgian league is always a risk, but Wesley is a promising young forward who could develop into a superb footballer in the coming years.

West Ham or Newcastle should not expect great things from the Brazilian right away if they do sign him this month.

The 22-year-old forward has scored seven goals and provided six assists in 19 Jupiler Pro League appearances and two goals in six Champions League games this season, according to Transfermarkt.com.
