Wolves Lead Race for West Ham's Luis Guilherme as Winger Faces Uncertain Future

Luis Guilherme could leave West Ham after just one season, SportsBoom have been told.

The highly-rated Brazilian younger, who came through the ranks with Real Madrid’s Endrick in the Palmeiras youth set-up, has frustratingly failed to force his way into contention since making a £25million move to the Hammers last summer.

He was Julen Lopetegui’s first signing at the club, but the former Spain boss was sacked midway through the season and replaced by Graham Potter.

The talented 19-year-old, who has played just 55 minutes of football this season, could be sold at the end of the campaign as Potter plans his own rebuild in East London. 

It is understood the winger wants to make it work in Europe as he looks to fulfil his undoubted potential. 

SUITORS CIRCLING

There are plenty of admirers if Potter decides to bite the bullet and sell — but it is understood West Ham would want to recoup the fee they paid for the player 12 months ago, which could turn off potential suitors.

Wolves are ready to offer the pacy Brazilian a route to stay in the Premier League.

Vitor Pereira has helped guide the club away from relegation danger and is looking towards the summer with a number of players out of contract at the end of the campaign.

The Portuguese coach has identified Guilherme as someone he would like to add to his stocks at Molyneux.

Guilherme would be a good fit for a dressing room which already boasts a strong Brazilian contingent. 

But Pereira will face competition to land the target with Crystal Palace also monitoring the wide man’s situation at the Hammers.

Atletico Madrid, Napoli, Feyenoord and Shakhtar Donetsk are also keeping tabs on developments.
