West Ham United have been linked with a move for Danilo Pereira.
The Hammers have been heavily linked with a move for Sporting Lisbon midfielder William Carvalho, but it seems they are contemplating pulling the plug on a deal for the Portuguese midfielder.
It has been a busy transfer window for West Ham who snapped up four major signings with Joe Hart, Pablo Zabaleta, Marko Arnautovic and Javier Hernandez all arriving at the London Stadium.
Slaven Bilic is reportedly keen to add a powerful midfielder in the middle of the park, and Danilo fits the bill nicely.
West Ham were close to sealing a deal for Carvalho, but it seems they are moving on to Pereira as Sporting are demanding more money.
The 25-year-old is a powerful figure in the middle of the park, who is good at passing and making interceptions.
He is good at winning the ball back and quickly initiate an attack, and possess good pace as well. In theory, he should not face any problem in settling down with the pace of the Premier League.
West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to express their view on the player. Here are some of the selected tweets:
