West Ham have reportedly seen a bid to sign Jovane Cabral from Sporting Lisbon recently rejected.
The Hammers were heavily linked with a move for the winger previously and could reignite their interest this summer.
Newly promoted Watford are also believed to be keen on the 23-year-old and a transfer battle could be on the cards over the coming weeks.
This is according to a report from Portuguese publication A Bola, via Sport Witness on Twitter.

The report claims both Leeds United and Southampton have also made their interest known, whilst the Irons saw an offer of £10.2million rejected.
Capped on one occasion by Cape Verde, Cabral scored eight times and registered another five assists from 28 appearances in all competitions in 2020/21.

Capable of playing on either wing, the versatile ace would offer plenty to David Moyes’ squad – including the ability to play as a central striker and offer support to Michail Antonio.
Valued at £7.2million and under contract in Portugal until 2023 (Transfermarkt), the mooted £12.8million asking price would represent impressive business from the east Londoners.
Already a multiple trophy winner, Cabral possesses an abundance of attacking attributes that would be hugely beneficial to the Hammers as the club venture into the Europa League next term.
