"West Ham United have reportedly informed Brazilian teenager Luis Guilherme that he is free to find a new club in the January transfer window, just months after his arrival in East London. The 19-year-old exciting winger, who joined with a reputation as one of South America's brightest prospects, has struggled to adapt to the Premier League, leading the club to sanction an early exit."
"According to the latest report from club insiders Claret & Hugh, the decision regarding Guilherme's immediate future has been finalised. A source close to the situation revealed to the outlet: Guilherme has been told he can leave. The blunt directive highlights the swift change in stance from the Hammers' hierarchy, who had invested significantly in the youngster during the summer window."
"West Ham are open to offers from any suitor, clubs in the Primeira Liga may currently be the most concrete option for the player to reignite his career. A move to Portugal could offer Luis Guilherme a more familiar cultural environment and a style of play that better suits his developmental needs compared to the physical demands of the English top flight."
West Ham United have told 19-year-old Brazilian winger Luis Guilherme he is free to find a new club in the January transfer window after a difficult start at the club. Guilherme arrived for a reported fee around £25 million but has managed just 18 appearances and 265 minutes, with zero goals and zero assists. The club is open to offers and views Primeira Liga clubs as plausible suitors, where a less physical style and cultural familiarity could aid his development. Intense competition for attacking positions and immediate results pressure limited his playing time.
