The key player of West Ham Wesley Gassova had a brutal accident today and that makes him…

West Ham United appear to be leading the race to sign Corinthians starlet Wesley Gassova this summer.

Wesley Gassova emerged as a transfer target for West Ham at the end of last month, and we’ve allegedly made a £15.4 million bid for his signature already.

There will be a big shakeup at the London Stadium this summer, and we’ve already told you how incoming manager Julen Lopetegui plans to make six exciting new signings.

David Moyes worked wonders but the squad he’s left behind is an unbalanced and ageing one, with just seven first-team players under the age of 29!

In addition to that, read here to see the 12 Hammers who have been linked with leaving the London Stadium this summer.

One area where Lopetegui needs to prioritise strengthening is the left wing department, and Wesley could well be the man for the job.

But why are we in such a strong position to sign him?

So, the Hammers are apparently primed to bring the teenage winger to the London Stadium when the summer transfer window opens.

He’s a real talent and one of the hottest commodities in South America right now, so signing him would represent a real coup for West Ham.

According to a report from Globo Esporte, Corinthians president Augusto Melo is flying to Europe to iron out a deal for Wesley Gassova.
