West Ham have been named among a host of clubs ‘keeping tabs’ on Fulham wonderkid Fabio Carvalho this summer.
The Hammers are credited with holding an interest in the 18-year-old winger alongside Leeds United, Norwich City and Porto after the starlet rejected a new deal at Craven Cottage.
Having entered the final 12 months of a contract at Fulham, Carvalho seemingly has a number of potential suitors.
That’s according to a report from the Daily Mail as cited by Louis (West Ham Central) on Twitter.

Born in Portugal but an England youth international, Carvalho scored against Southampton during a full Premier League debut last season before making three other appearances.
Hailed as ‘lively’ by ex-Fulham boss Scott Parker, the teenager continued to impress at senior level over the weekend with a display from a central position against Middlesborough.

Signing talented youngsters has certainly been part of the mantra during David Moyes’ second reign in east London.
Having already landing Frederik Alves and Brian Kinnear under the Scot, attempting to add Carvalho to the ranks would be no surprise.
Clearly a talented individual – tipped for Ballon d’Or glory – West Ham would be wise to remain observant of any further developments.
