West Ham considered adding winger.
West Ham failed in a last hour move for winger Jonathan Cafu, according to Tuttomercatoweb.
Cafu made a name for himself this season by starring in the Champions League for Ludogorets, who gave Arsenal a scare in the group stages and managed a draw away to Paris Saint-Germain.

The Mail reported early in January that Lyon, Roma and Leicester City were all interested in the defender, who ended the transfer window remaining a Ludogorets player.
Tuttomercatoweb‘s report claims West Ham failed with an £8 million approach – but adds crucially that the Hammers plan to return in the summer to sign the winger.

Cafu, 25, could have had a move complicated by a work permit, making any late deal more difficult for West Ham to conclude.
This season he has scored 11 goals already for Ludogorets, where he has been since joining from Sao Paolo in 2015.
West Ham sold winger Dimitri Payet in January and signed Robert Snodgrass from Hull City.
