West Ham United have reached a provisional agreement to sign Luis Guilherme, an 18-year-old forward from Palmeiras, according to sources close to the deal. The young Brazilian winger is expected to arrive in London on Saturday to undergo a medical examination and finalize the transfer.Guilherme will become the Hammers’ second signing of the summer, following the acquisition of goalkeeper Wes Foderingham, who will join the team on a free transfer on July 1. The talented teenager has already made a significant impact in Brazil, starting in five of Palmeiras’ seven league matches this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist.Renowned for his exceptional speed, Guilherme has been clocked at an impressive 36.4km/h, earning him comparisons to French superstar Kylian Mbappe. His versatility on the pitch, playing on both the left and right wings, has made him an attractive prospect for West Ham manager Julien Lopetegui, who succeeded David Moyes at the London Stadium.Interestingly, Liverpool had the opportunity to sign Guilherme this summer but opted against it, according to sources. West Ham, however, have moved swiftly to secure the deal before the transfer window opens on June 14.Guilherme’s signing is a significant coup for West Ham, who are set to embark on a pre-season tour of the United States this summer. The Hammers will face Wolves and Crystal Palace in the Stateside Cup in Florida, and Guilherme’s inclusion in the squad is expected to boost their chances in the tournament.This transfer news comes on the heels of reports that West Ham are likely to sell Mohammed Kudus, according to sources close to the team. However, the arrival of Guilherme has generated significant excitement among fans, who are eager to see the young Brazilian in action.
