West Ham United is interested in signing the goalkeeper Botafogo John Victor during the summer transfer window.
The Brazilian goalkeeper was exceptional during the recently finished FIFA club World Cup, and his performances attracted the attention of the English club. West Ham has already rejected an offer for the player, and they have now returned with an improved offer for the 29 -year -old.
According to Globo Esporte, the player informed Botafogo that he wanted to move to the Premier League and play for West Ham United next season. Development will be a huge boost for the London Club, and they will seek to share the agreement. The two clubs are in advanced negotiations to conclude the agreement.
West Ham will need a new goalkeeper
They need a reliable goalkeeper and the 29 -year -old would be the ideal acquisition. He showed his quality during the Club World Cup, and there is no doubt that he also has the attributes to succeed in the Premier League.
The Hammers must bring an upgrade to Alphonse Areole, and the Brazilian certainly corresponds to the profile.
John Victor will savor the move of the Premier League
The opportunity to move to England could also be tempting enough for players. It is not surprising that he had already informed his club that he wanted to join the Hammers.
This could be his last opportunity to join a big club in Europe. It will be interesting to see if he can adapt quickly to the Premier League and have an instant impact to West Ham.
The player is at the top of his career, and it’s a good time for him to try a new challenge. He will seek to prove himself in England and to settle as a key player from the London Club.
Meanwhile, the goalkeeper is also on the Manchester United radar.
