With just about ten weeks until the January transfer window opens, the buzz around potential signings is growing. According to recent reports, West Ham has a bit of financial flexibility and is looking to make moves in Brazil again.
Leo Ortiz: A Center-Back Target
One player of interest is Leo Ortiz, a center-back from Flamengo. The 28-year-old has been linked to West Ham previously, and it seems the club is considering him again. Priced at around €9 million, Ortiz brings considerable experience and could solidify our defense, particularly if we shift to a back three.
Rayan: The Young Winger
We’ve also been linked with Rayan, a teenage winger from Vasco da Gama. The 18-year-old has caught the eye of several Premier League clubs and is reportedly valued at around £8 million. With his contract nearing its end, this could be a prime opportunity for West Ham to strike a deal, especially given our focus on nurturing young talent.
