West Ham United wants to invite quality goalkeepers this summer and is interested in Botafogo star John Victor.
According to a report by Football Insider, they filed an offer of £10 million to the 29-year-old. He excelled at the FIFA Club World Cup earlier this summer, but it’s not surprising that West Ham is interested in experienced goalkeepers.
West Ham needs someone like Victor.
Hammer is making official moves for the players, and it is still unclear whether they can secure an agreement with Botafogo. Brazilian costumes are already considering alternatives.
The 29-year-old is drawn to the idea of moving to the Premier League. It was a big step in his career and he would try to prove himself in European football. He is at the peak of his career, and this is the right time for him to move on and try new challenges.
Alphonse Adeola was extremely error prone to last season, with West Ham needing an upgrade to his French goalkeeper. Signing a Brazilian is a wise decision. If they can sign him for £10 million, it represents a great bargain.
John Victor is a player in demand.
Meanwhile, players are believed to be on the radar of PSG and Atletico Madrid. They are undoubtedly a more attractive destination for players, but they have yet to advance their official offer to sign him. It will be interesting to see if West Ham can close the move anytime soon.
Manchester United also had an interest in Victor.
They had a disappointing season last time and they’ll look like they’re bouncing hard. Improvement of important areas of the team is a priority for them in the market. The new goalkeeper could make a big difference for them at back next season. It remains to be seen whether Botafogo is willing to accept £10 million in star players.
