# Virals: West Ham hold ‘meetings’ with representatives of Arthur Cabral

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/11/29/virals-west-ham-lining-up-a-move-to-sign-liverpool-defender-nat-phillips/) have reportedly held ‘online meetings’ with the representatives of FC Basel striker [Arthur Cabral](https://readwestham.com/2021/11/18/virals-west-ham-have-reportedly-watched-fc-basel-striker-arthur-cabral/).

The 23-year-old has attracted plenty of attention with [superb form this season](https://www.sofascore.com/player/arthur-cabral/870762) in the Swiss Super League and could be set for a big-money transfer.

Irons’ boss David Moyes would appear to be leading the pursuit as the Scot attempts to add much-needed depth to the [attacking department](https://www.whufc.com/teams/first-team/squad) at the London Stadium.

That’s according to a report from [Goal Brasil](https://www.goal.com/br/not%C3%ADcias/arthur-cabral-west-ham-mercado-barcelona/blteae5bf365ae783bf), as cited by [West Ham Transfers](https://twitter.com/westhamtransfer) on Twitter claiming that discussions have already taken place.

The report claims that the Hammers are willing to pay €15million (£12.6million) for the recent [Brazil squad](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arthur-cabral/nationalmannschaft/spieler/390638/verein_id/3439) member.

So far this season Cabral has scored a remarkable [24 goals and added eight assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arthur-cabral/leistungsdaten/spieler/390638) in 25 appearances across all competitions.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Valued at £13.5million and under contract in Switzerland until 2023 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arthur-cabral/leistungsdaten/spieler/390638)), paying £12.6million for the Brazilian would be an extraordinary piece of business.

Clearly a player operating at the [very peak](https://www.sofascore.com/player/arthur-cabral/870762) of his powers, Cabral would push Michail Antonio almost from the outset.

Whilst the Swiss top-flight may not be the best barometer, boasting a remarkable goalscoring record of [74 in 149 games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arthur-cabral/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/390638) as well as adding 49 assists, West Ham should be pushing hard for this deal.
