West Ham could reportedly ‘move early’ for highly-rated Fulham attacking midfielder Fabio Carvalho.
This comes as the 19-year-old is linked with a host of clubs including the Hammers, Liverpool, Tottenham and Southampton.
West Ham are chasing the signature of Fulham wonderkid Fabio Carvalho.
The 19-year-old is out of contract in the summer, and the Hammers’ could look to snap him up this month for a reasonably cheap fee.

However, the Irons could look to beat the competition and make a prompt swoop for the teenager according to ExWHUemployee on the latest West Ham Way Podcast.
Carvalho at Fulham is a guy we like. His contract expires in the summer. He’s not a priority position in January but we could move early for him.
Already a goalscorer in the Premier League, the six-cap England Under 18 international is hot property.
This season Carvalho – hailed as ‘fantastic’ by Marco Silva – has scored five times and provided one assist in 15 Championship appearances.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Valued at £3.15million and out of contract at Craven Cottage in the summer (Transfermarkt), signing the Portugal-born starlet would be a wholly possible venture during this transfer window.
Albeit the Championship table-toppers look almost certain to challenge for an immediate return to the top-flight, it would appear that Carvalho’s stock could go beyond a newly-promoted outfit.
Possessing a range of key attacking attributes and a player packed full of potential, adding the teen to the West Ham squad this month would be a smart move from David Moyes.
