Amina UmarWest Ham United have been actively scouting Brazilian players in recent months, and it’s no secret that they’ve been linked to several talents from the South American country.
While only Luis Guilherme’s signing has been made official so far, it’s now clear that the Hammers have been getting help from a special advisor to identify and recruit top Brazilian talent.According to Premier League Brasil, former defender Naldo has been the man behind Luis Guilherme’s signing.
Naldo has a great relationship with West Ham director Tim Steidten and has been suggesting promising players to the club. In an interview with Premier League Brasil, Naldo revealed that he got in touch with Luis Guilherme’s manager, Nick Arcuri, and helped negotiate the deal.Naldo’s involvement in West Ham’s recruitment process doesn’t stop there. He also suggested the signing of Yuri Alberto from Corinthians last year, although a deal couldn’t be reached at the time.
Additionally, Naldo advised West Ham on the signing of Wesley, but a deal hasn’t been finalized yet.It’s clear that West Ham are serious about tapping into the Brazilian market, and Naldo’s expertise has been invaluable in identifying top talent. With the London side still linked to other Brazilian players, it’s likely that we’ll see more signings from the country in the coming weeks.Meanwhile, Chelsea have agreed to sign Aaron Anselmino from Boca Juniors for a reported “exorbitant amount.” The Blues are sorting out the payment method, and the deal is expected to be finalized soon.
In other transfer news, Everton, Leicester City, and Southampton are interested in signing Martin Braithwaite, but they’ll have to pay around €600,000 to secure his services. Fulham have also entered the bidding for Aston Villa’s Jhon Durán, while Weston McKennie is reportedly asking for a significant severance package to leave Juventus for Aston Villa.
