"Only 20 years old, so it could be a bit of a gamble by West Ham if they were to bring him in and bring him straight into the team. Ideally, I think West Ham would want somebody who can come in straight into the team and hit the ground running in the Premier League because that's what they're going to need in the second half of season if they are to get themselves out of trouble."
"Tiago Gabriel, I'm sure he's somebody that West Ham have looked at. Brentford have also been mentioned as well, but it does seem reports in Italy are suggesting that Juventus are the current front-runner for the player. The Bianconeri would be hopeful that they could win the race for his signature if it does come down to it in the January window as well."
Tiago Gabriel is a 20-year-old Portugal Under-21 centre-back currently playing for Lecce. Juventus are the current front-runner to sign him in the January transfer window. West Ham have shown interest but view signing him as a potential gamble given his age and readiness for immediate Premier League impact. West Ham ideally want a defender who can step straight into the first team and help address urgent defensive needs in the second half of the season. Brentford have also been linked, and Lecce would likely accept a decent offer and allow the player to move on.
