West Ham could use Evander
Evander has been outstanding in the United States and has the physical and technical attributes to perform well in the championships. West Ham United have been relegated to the Championship and need to improve their squad if they are to bounce back strongly.
They need more goals and creativity from the middle of the park, and Evander could be a very useful option for them. The opportunity to move to England would be exciting for the player. The Brazilian, who scored nine goals and provided nine assists in MLS last season, is tempted to prove himself at the highest level and would find it hard to turn down the opportunity to play in England.

A move to the Championship could be ideal for Evander
If they can perform well in English soccer’s second tier next season, they may be able to secure an even bigger move next season.
Apparently signing the midfielder could cost around £15m. Additionally, he is likely to demand a weekly salary of around £40,000. It remains to be seen whether West Ham are prepared to offer his asking price. They have the means to pay his wages.
They are desperate to get back to the top flight quickly and need to strengthen their squad this summer if they are to do well in the Championship.
