# Virals: West Ham have reported Jovane Cabral bid rejected

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/06/21/virals-west-ham-considering-odsonne-edouard-swoop/) have reportedly seen a bid to sign [Jovane Cabral](https://readwestham.com/2020/11/27/west-ham-lead-jovane-cabral-transfer-race/) from Sporting Lisbon recently rejected.

The Hammers were [heavily linked](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/west-ham-move-fast-sporting-ace-cabral-stalls-over-deal) with a move for the winger previously and could reignite their interest this summer.

[Newly promoted Watford](https://theathletic.com/news/watford-promotion-premier-league-championship/wbMuwDKnHx8B) 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](https://abola.pt/), via [Sport Witness](https://twitter.com/Sport_Witness/status/1406969917786701827) on Twitter.

The report claims both Leeds United and [Southampton](https://www.givemesport.com/1619707-southampton-transfer-news-jovane-cabral-targeted-the-verdict) have also made their interest known, whilst the Irons saw an offer of £10.2million rejected.

Capped on [one occasion](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jovane-cabral/nationalmannschaft/spieler/448466/verein_id/4311) by Cape Verde, Cabral [scored eight times and registered another five assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jovane-cabral/leistungsdaten/spieler/448466) from 28 appearances in all competitions in 2020/21.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Capable of playing on either wing, the [versatile ace](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jovane-cabral/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/448466) 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](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jovane-cabral/marktwertverlauf/spieler/448466)), the mooted £12.8million asking price would represent impressive business from the east Londoners.

Already a [multiple trophy winner](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jovane-cabral/erfolge/spieler/448466), Cabral possesses an [abundance of attacking attributes](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/361964/Show/Jovane-Cabral) that would be hugely beneficial to the Hammers as the club venture into the Europa League next term.
