David Moyes’s West Ham United are interested in signing Lazaro from Flamengo in the summer transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The well-known and well-respected journalist has reported on Twitter that West Ham have approached Brazilian club Flamengo for Lazaro.
The Premier League club have made an opening bid of £6 million for the 20-year-old, but it has been rejected.
Romano has further stated that talks between West Ham and Flamengo are going on, adding that other clubs are also interested in Lazaro, who operates as an attacking midfielder or as a forward.
West Ham have bid for Lazaro of Flamengo
Could a transfer happen?
In our view, West Ham United could be able to sign Flamengo forward Lazaro in the summer transfer window.
Yes, the Hammers’ opening offer has been turned down, but that the Premier League and the Brazilian clubs are still in talks over the former Brazil Under-17 international forward indicates willingness on both sides to get a deal done.
Lazaro himself could be tempted to move to the Hammers.
True, Flamengo are a massive club in Brazil, but West Ham are a big and established club in the Premier League who are going places.
