# Approach made for Ludogorets forward Cafu

It has been a quiet deadline day for West Ham fans but news has surfaced revealing an approach was made by the Hammers for Ludogorets winger Jonathan Cafu.

[Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/west-ham-leicester-stoke-fail-late-approaches-player-summer/) understand Brighton, Leicester, Stoke and West Ham all made late approaches for Cafu, but no side followed up their initial interest as a result of Ludogoret’s €12million price-tag. It is believed the English clubs valued Cafu closer to €7million.

An eleventh-hour bid on deadline day will not materialise for Cafu, but West Ham could revisit a deal for the 25-year-old in the summer. With his contract set to expire in 2018, Ludogorets will be forced to accept a cut-price for the forward.

Cafu boasts eleven goals in 27 games this campaign, including a goal and an assist against Arsenal in the Champions League back in November. Thirteen of these appearances came from right-wing and the other fourteen came as a lone striker.
