West Ham United are interested in signing Real Madrid attacker Endrik in the January transfer window.
The 19-year-old has struggled to get regular minutes at the La Liga club and needs to step up to play more often. A move to the Premier League could be ideal for him, but Dean Jones predicts it will be difficult for West Ham to seal a deal.
West Ham need to improve their team
They have had a disappointing start to the season so far and need to add more quality to their squad. Signing a quality striker could be a wise decision. The 19-year-old is capable of playing anywhere in the front three and could also make an impact in the final third.
The Brazilian will be keen to play more often. The Premier League could be an exciting opportunity. Regular football in England could bring out the best in him. It will be interesting to see if he is keen on a move to West Ham. He may consider a move to the London club as a step down. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop.
Endrick was linked with a move to Chelsea several months ago.
West Ham keen to sign Endrick
Jones told TEAMtalk: “Endrick will probably be the target of a loan offer in January and it makes sense to me that West Ham are one of the clubs that have made an offer. West Ham are interested in taking him away from the Bernabéu at this point. I don’t think they are in a particularly good position to let him go, but they will try. Endrik is actually younger than they expected, but he has a special level of quality that they will target. They have been interested in him for a long time.” time. “
The 19-year-old is highly regarded across Europe, with manager Carlo Ancelotti previously describing him as a “fantastic” player. He has the potential to develop into a world-class footer. Real Madrid must focus on his development and give him regular opportunities to develop. It would be ideal to send him out on loan in January.
