Gabriel Barbosa is a man in demand at the moment after a stellar 2019 on loan at Flamengo.
The Inter Milan striker fired the Brazilian side to Copa Libertadores glory, however, they have fallen short in their bid to sign him on a permanent basis, according to the Daily Mail.
West Ham are now ready to pounce with a £17m bid as Inter are prepared to offload the talisman to the highest bidder.
New manager David Moyes has also approved a move for Barbosa, more commonly known as ‘Gabigol’ as he looks to add more firepower to his squad.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Flamengo falling short is a huge boost for the Hammers because it means Inter will be more willing to listen to their offer.
He netted 25 times in 29 Brazilian top-flight appearances and has always spoken of his desire to play in the Premier League.
This is West Ham’s chance to make a statement signing. Let’s hope it all goes well.
