The Porto ace would be an excellent addition to the West Ham United squad.
Manuel Pellegrini faces an incredibly tough task on his hands at West Ham this summer, if he is to build a squad who are capable of making a sustained push for the Europa League spots next term.
One particular area where the Hammers undoubtedly need to improve is the wide attacking department, with more competition required for the likes of Manuel Lanzini and Michail Antonio.
Combined with that, Robert Snodgrass’ future at the London Stadium is uncertain, and the signing of a talented, established winger will be vital for West Ham this summer.
With this in mind, Pellegrini should consider a move for Porto ace Yacine Brahimi, who is available for just €30 million (£26.3 million) this summer, according to Italian media outlet Calcio Mercato.
The 28-year-old was in fine form for Porto last season, chalking up 12 goals and 10 assists in 49 appearances in all competitions, and that kind of attacking output would surely help take the Hammers to another level.
Brahimi possesses exceptional technical ability, has blistering pace, and his direct playing style would add a certain level of potency to West Ham’s play in the final third.
The 40-capped Algeria international is right footed, and is most comfortable when operating in the left wing role, from where he can cut inside onto his favoured foot.
Brahimi has incredible ability, and could be just the type of maverick signing that West Ham need to make in order to finally replace Dimitri Payet.
