West Ham United and Manchester United are both interested in Angolan talent Zito Luvumbo, according to reports. 

Angola are set to participate at the upcoming FIFA Under-17 World Cup in Brazil which kicks off in ten days’ time. 

Angola are in the host nation’s group, along with Canada and New Zealand and Luvumbo is considered one of their star players. In fact, he has already featured for the national team’s senior side on two occasions this year. 

SAPO Desporto are reporting that West Ham and Manchester United have both shown interest in the player. 

As reported by the BBC, the player had a trial with Manchester United earlier this year. SAPO reported previous interest from West Ham back in August and it appears that remains. 

West Ham will, therefore, want to take special notice of his actions at the upcoming tournament. 

Luvumbo, who currently plays for one of Angola’s premier football teams, Primeiro de Agosto, is set to potentially be hot property if he does thrive at the tournament. 

West Ham will want to make sure they remain at the front of any queue for his services.
