Shakhtar Donetsk is pursuing a transfer for 19-year-old winger Luis Guilherme from West Ham United, amid difficulties in negotiations. Journalist Mikhail Spivakovskiy reports on the club's interest while rejecting rumors of a swap deal involving Georgiy Sudakov. Guilherme has had limited playing time at West Ham since his transfer from Palmeiras and could benefit from a move to Ukraine. However, both he and his agent are apprehensive about leaving the English Premier League for the Ukrainian top division, complicating potential negotiations.
According to my sources close to Shakhtar, the story about the swap is complete nonsense... Doesn't have a f**king CLUE about football!.
Despite ruling out the swap, Shakhtar remain keen on Guilherme, who has struggled for game time since joining West Ham from Palmeiras in June 2024.
Negotiations are ongoing, but... the player and his agent are hesitant about leaving the Premier League for the Ukrainian top flight, with the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal previously linked.
A move to Ukraine could offer him a fresh start, but there's a major hurdle which is his willingness to make the switch.
