# West Ham target Rafinha keen on Premier League switch

West Ham have reportedly set their sights on Bayern Munich right-back Rafinha, who is keen to make a move to the Premier League this summer.

According to an exclusive report from [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/premier-league-move-considered-west-ham-target/) this evening, the Brazilian defender is ready to seek pastures new this summer as he enters his final year on his current deal at the Allianz Arena.

Rafinha has enjoyed a highly successful time with the Bundesliga outfit, claiming several honours with the team and being used in different positions by different managers.

The Hammers are seriously lacking quality at right-back and may look to bolster this particular position. With Rafinha looking to be available ahead of a potential summer move away from Bayern, Slaven Bilic may be increasing his interest in the 31-year-old.

However, according to the report, Rafinha’s first preference is to sign for a top club in England, so Bilic and his men would have a lot of convincing to do in order to bring the right-back to the London Stadium.
