Swansea City are reportedly interested in Renato Sanches. Should West Ham make a move for him?
William Carvalho remains West Ham’s top priority midfield target, but as the Hammers are struggling to find a breakthrough in the deal, should they consider options elsewhere?
With the summer transfer window set to slam shut on Thursday evening, time is running out for West Ham, and it is high time they reach out to other alternative options, should they fail to land the Portuguese midfielder.
And that is why they should try for Carvalho’s national teammate instead – Renato Sanches, who could be available on a loan transfer.
The 20-year-old midfielder joined Bayern last season from Benfica, but has struggled to make a strong impression under Carlo Ancelotti.
The Portugal international, who has 12 caps for his country, has been given the green-light to leave the German champions on loan.
Premier League outfit Swansea have made an ambitious move to secure his signature. And West Ham should join the race as well.
Sanches is a box-to-box midfielder who brings energy and dynamism in the middle of the park. Plus, he would arrive on loan, which means it’s a risk-free deal.
West Ham have made a poor start to their 2017/18 Premier League season despite bringing in some very good players.
Sanches would be a quality addition to the side. Over to you, Slaven Bilic!
