# Virals: West Ham hold ‘concrete’ interest in Arthur Cabral

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/11/30/noel-whelan-tips-impeccable-nat-phillips-to-flourish-at-west-ham/) have been consistently linked with a move for FC Basel striker [Arthur Cabral](https://readwestham.com/2021/11/29/virals-west-ham-hold-meetings-with-representatives-of-arthur-cabral/) in recent weeks.

It would appear that the 23-year-old is the chosen one to [bolster the attacking ranks](https://www.whufc.com/teams/first-team/squad) at the London Stadium as David Moyes looks to strengthen the squad in January.

Recently a report from [Goal Brasil](https://www.goal.com/br/not%C3%ADcias/arthur-cabral-west-ham-mercado-barcelona/blteae5bf365ae783bf) claimed that an ‘online meeting’ had taken place between the club and representatives of Cabral.

Now a fresh report from [4-4-2.ch](https://www.4-4-2.com/super-league/fc-basel/arthur-cabral-abgang-fc-basel-wohl-nicht-barca/), as cited by [Sport Witness](https://twitter.com/Sport_Witness) on Twitter has claimed there have been ‘concrete efforts’ from an English side to land the Brazilian.

The report which highlights Barcelona’s attempts to sign Cabral claims an English club has ‘submitted an offer’ of around €20million (£16.6million) for the [recently recognised](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arthur-cabral/nationalmannschaft/spieler/390638/verein_id/3439) Brazil international.

So far this season the former Palmeiras ace has scored an outstanding [25 goals and provided eight assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arthur-cabral/leistungsdaten/spieler/390638) in 26 appearances across all competitions.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Valued at £13.5million and under contract until 2023 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arthur-cabral/marktwertverlauf/spieler/390638)), signing Cabral for the mooted fee would be a bargain.

In red hot form and seemingly on an [upwards career trajectory](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arthur-cabral/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/390638), Moyes would surely relish the opportunity to add the Brazilian frontman to the ranks.

Seemingly willing to sell due to [‘economic’](https://sportwitness.co.uk/claim-west-ham-submitted-offer-goalscoring-star-club-preparing-players-exit-january/) reasons, West Ham should be pulling out all the stops to get this deal over the line in January.
