Fabrizio Romano makes shocking information about Luis Guilherme, West Ham medical
Transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano has made a stunning claim about a West Ham medical for Luis Guilherme in a major update.
Fabrizio Romano may be forgiven for avoiding West Ham transfer news for a spell..
The reporter has spent years building a reputation for being among the first to break transfer news.
Romano uses his characteristic ‘here we go’ stamp to signify completed transactions.
However, he had his fingers burned earlier this week when a deal with Brazilian centre-back Fabricio Bruno fell through after Romano gave it his ‘here we go’ seal.
Steidten’s Samba struggles
West Ham technical director Tim Steidten has since switched his attention to other targets in Brazil, one of which being teenage midfield star Luis Guilherme.
Palmeiras has reportedly rejected two West Ham proposals for the 18-year-old player.
Yesterday, Romano offered a cautious update, stating that talks between West Ham and Palmeiras were still ongoing for Guilherme, who has been compared to Mohammed Kudus.
We mentioned on Hammers News that Romano’s claim had to be credible because he was jeopardizing his reputation.
Well, there has been a significant development.
Romano’s stunning claim about Guilherme medical
Romano has made an incredible new claim regarding Guilherme undergoing a West Ham medical.
The Italian claims that all documentation are currently being prepared for the Hammers to execute the Guilherme trade.
And he claims the deal will be finalised early next week, after which the thrilling wing magician will have a medical in London.
“We understand West Ham are now finalizing the documentation for the Luis Guilherme transaction! “The €30 million (£25 million) plus 20% sell-on clause proposal has been exclusively revealed and is currently being reviewed with Palmeiras,” Romano stated.
“West Ham hope for (the) deal to be sealed early next week with 2006 born winger to travel for medical.”
What ‘new Ronaldinho’ will bring to West Ham
What an exciting update for Hammers fans.
However, the news will not only relieve West Ham fans, but also Romano, who went early on the Bruno deal, and incoming head coach Julen Lopetegui.
The most relieved man will surely be Steidten.
That is if a statement made earlier today is to be believed.
A journalist detailed what will happen if Steidten is unable to close the deal for Guilherme following the collapse of the Bruno and Wesley Gassova transactions.
Some fans are concerned that bringing an 18-year-old straight from Brazilian football to the Premier League is a risky move for West Ham.
Guilherme is a left-footed right winger who can also play on the left or at number 10.
He is technically excellent and plays with a recklessness that defies his age.
According to Yahoo, Guilherme has even been dubbed the new ‘Ronaldinho’.
If he’s even a quarter of the player Ronaldinho was, West Ham will have a winner here. Check him out in the video below.
