West Ham United reportedly agreed to personal terms with Corinthian striker Yuri Alberto ahead of the possibility of a summer transfer.
The talented 24-year-old has long been on the radar of West Ham and other Premier League clubs after being impressed in his native Brazil.
And now, the latest report suggests that West Ham has strengthened their interest and has already agreed to personal terms with Alberto for the summer.
This looks like an exciting business with hammers who urgently need new strikers and many other signatures after a poor season in the Premier League.
Graham Potter will undoubtedly push for changes to the group of players in this group, which he inherited from Julen Lopetegui.
Can Yuri Alberto change West Ham’s fortune?
West Ham has long discovered that the striker’s position is a problematic position, and recently has a series of inadequate signatures in the field.
Celebrities like Gianluca Scamacca and Niclas Fullkrug initially looked like promising additions beforehand, but eventually flops at London Stadium.
WHUFC hopes that Alberto’s deal will work out well, but of course there is no guarantee for young players from outside the Premier League.
West Ham appears to be on track in its efforts to land Alberto as one of its prioritized targets, and certainly looks like a deal worth pursuing.
The East London Club is also linked with reel frontman Jonathan David.
