West Ham United, Fulham and an unnamed English club are seriously considering moving forward with formal proposals for the Sporting winger Jovane Cabral, according to reports in Portugal.
A Bola claims those offers would be close to what the Sporting administration intends to negotiate for – €20 million (around £18m), plus clauses.
Both West Ham and Fulham have already been linked with moves for Cabral in the summer transfer window, but there is little indication, as yet, as to the identity of the third alleged suitor.
Cabral scored or made nine goals in 16 league games for the Portuguese giants last season, all but three of which arrived in an eight-match spell following the June restart.
Despite that, there are no guarantees the 22-year-old would walk straight into the first elevens of West Ham or Fulham, should he join either club.
West Ham’s wide options already comprise Andriy Yarmolenko, Robert Snodgrass, Jarrod Bowen, Michail Antonio and Grady Diangana, with Fulham counting Anthony Knockaert, Ivan Cavaleiro, Neeskens Kebano, Bobby Decordova-Reid and Aboubakar Kamara among theirs.
