• EXCLUSIVE from Graeme Bailey

West Ham United have been offered the chance to sign a very highly-rated Brazil international.

The Hammers have made three additions so far this window and now Julen Lopetegui is keen to add another attacker to his ranks.

Luis Guilherme, Wes Foderingham and Max Kilman have all linked up with the squad but evidently, there’s still plenty of work to be done if they’re to return to Europe this season.

With that said, it has just emerged that West Ham have been offered a Brazilian forward.

West Ham offered Yuri Alberto

TBR Football understands that West Ham United have been offered the chance to sign Corinthians attacker Yuri Alberto.

The Hammers had Alberto on their radar last summer but a move failed to materialise and now the Brazilian outfit are touting him to a number of clubs.

Corinthians are yet to receive any offers at this stage but are hopeful a forthcoming suitor will meet his £17m pricetag.

Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest have also been mooted as a potential destination but nothing is advanced.

Yuri Alberto statistics

Alberto, who has been dubbed the ‘next Neymar’ per Football London, is predominatly a striker but can operate as a right-winger.

The 2001-born has netted 17 times whilst laying on three assists in Brazi’s top flight this term – with their season due to end in December.

It’s understood that he’s keen on a move to the Premier Legaue and if his asking price is met, he’d be willing to make a mid-season switch to Lopetegui’s side.

In other news, West Ham now want to sign £21m man who said he dreams of playing for Arsenal.
