West Ham could sell winger in order to sign Adama Traore

"West Ham United are getting ready for the January transfer window with manager Nuno Espirito Santo preparing to make new additions. The Hammers have struggled this season and their early season form is the reason why they are sitting in the relegation zone at the moment. Recent revivial under Nuno has given them hope but the manager and the club hierarchy has realised that a few additions in the January transfer window could give them a much needed boost for the second half of the season."

"At just 19, the Palmeiras academy graduate arrived with a burgeoning reputation, a left-footed right winger blessed with explosive pace, polished dribbling, and a natural eye for creativity. Having already featured for Brazil's U20s and caught the attention of major European clubs including Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, many expected that Guilherme's transition to Premier League football was the next logical step in his rapid rise."

Across spells under Julen Lopetegui, Graham Potter, and now Nuno Espirito Santo, Guilherme has failed to establish any meaningful foothold in the first team. Instead of being nurtured as a long-term project, he has slipped further down the pecking order with each managerial change."

West Ham United sit in the relegation zone after poor early-season form but have shown recent revival under manager Nuno Espirito Santo. The club intends to strengthen the squad during the January transfer window and is linked with Wolves winger Adama Traore. West Ham are open to offloading 19-year-old Brazilian Luis Guilherme despite the excitement that accompanied his 2024 arrival. Guilherme joined from Palmeiras as a left-footed right winger with pace, dribbling and creativity and attracted interest from Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. He has struggled in his first full year in England and has failed to establish a first-team foothold across multiple managers, slipping down the pecking order.
