West Ham United is reportedly closing in on a deal for Corinthians striker Yuri Alberto, opting for him over Aston Villa's Jhon Duran, whose high price tag was a deterrent. West Ham's previous 57 million bid for Duran was rejected, making Alberto's availability for 20 million a more attractive option. Alberto has proven himself at Corinthians and has experience in Europe, but the Premier League will be a new challenge. West Ham is eager to boost their attack after a lackluster start to the season and injuries to key players.
West Ham United appear set to secure the transfer of Corinthians striker Yuri Alberto for a budget-friendly 20 million, rather than Aston Villa's Jhon Duran.
Alberto, 23, has a strong record at Corinthians and previous European experience, important for addressing West Ham's urgent need for more goals this season.
