West Ham United are reportedly in talks to sign FC Cincinnati midfielder Evander this summer, aiming to bolster their squad for a promotion push.
Sources suggest the Hammers are highly impressed with the 28-year-old Brazilian midfielder, who has delivered 92 goal contributions during his time in Major League Soccer. Area Napoli reports that West Ham are preparing an official bid for the player, who was previously linked with Newcastle United.
Evander's standout performances in the MLS, including nine goals and nine assists last season, highlight his potential to adapt to English football. His blend of physical and technical skills could be exactly what West Ham needs to add creativity and goals from the midfield as they look to bounce back to the Premier League.
A move to England would offer the player a chance to showcase his talent at a higher level, and the prospect of playing in the Championship could be an attractive stepping stone for his career. It's believed Evander could be available for a fee around £15 million, with reported wage demands of £40,000 per week.
West Ham reportedly have the financial means to meet these demands and are keen to strengthen their squad significantly this summer. The club's determination to secure immediate promotion makes this potential transfer a key strategic move.
