West Ham United are reportedly set to battle Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool for the signature of Naza Bazan Vera.
According to The Sun, West Ham United are interested in signing Velez Sarsfield attacker Naza Bazan Vera amid interest from Premier League rivals.
The Hammers have put plenty of effort into adding young talent to their ranks, with the likes of Martin Samuelsen, Domingos Quina and Antonio Martinez all joining the club since Slaven Bilic’s appointment as manager.

Now, the Hammers are being linked with another for a young talent, with Argentinian teenager Naza Bazan Vera believed to be on the club’s radar.
Bazan Vera, 17, has emerged through the ranks at Velez Sarsfield in his native Argentina, and is the nephew of striker Daniel Bazan Vera, a cult hero in Argentinian football.

Now, the teenager is being compared to Juventus sensation Paulo Dybala, and his potential is attracting major interest from teams in England.
The Sun report that Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are all keen to sign Bazan Vera in the hope of landing then next Dybala, but West Ham have joined the race – and are claimed to be ‘serious contenders’ for his signature.

It’s suggested that Bazan Vera could be signed for a small fee, and West Ham are keen to land him as they pursue yet another Argentinian.
Manuel Lanzini has impressed in East London so far, whilst Carlos Tevez was also a hero with the Hammers during his time at the club – but should West Ham sign Bazan Vera, they will be hoping that he has more success than Argentinians who struggled at the club like Javier Mascherano, Mauro Zarate or even current loanee Jonathan Calleri.
