da bet nacional: According to ExWHUemployee, West Ham United are interested in a summer deal for Real Salt Late attacker Jefferson Savarino.
What’s the word, then?
Well, ExWHUemployee claimed on Monday evening that the Hammers, alongside Newcastle United, were planning on scouting Savarino during Venezuela’s Copa America group game against Brazil on Tuesday night.
Sky Sports then published a story almost two hours later claiming that the playmaker could be available for £6m in this summer’s transfer window.
Savarino earned his ninth Venezuela cap in their goalless draw with Peru in the Copa America at the weekend.
It has been claimed that West Ham will scout the attacker in action against tournament hosts Brazil on Tuesday night.
It remains to be seen whether the Hammers, or indeed Newcastle, follow up with a bid, though, and the 22-year-old might find it difficult to make his mark against the Brazilians, who are bound to dominate the possession.
What are Savarino’s credentials?
The 5 ft 7 attacker came through the youth system at Venezuelan club Zulia before joining Real Salt Lake, initially on loan, in 2017.
The winger has scored 16 times and contributed 18 assists in 70 appearances for his MLS club in all competitions.
Meanwhile, he struck 23 goals in 53 appearances for Zulia’s first team before moving to North America two years ago.
This season, Savarino has managed three goals and two assists in 13 MLS matches and netted in two of his final four games for Real Salt Lake before joining up with his national team for the Copa America.
Sky Sports have claimed that the South American could be available for £6m this summer and if he impresses against Brazil then it might be a no-brainer for the Hammers.
