"The Hammers are being linked with a player plus cash bid for up-and-coming Brazilian forward Vitor Roque, as manager Nuno Espirito Santo looks to strengthen a front line hit hard by injuries and inconsistent form. With Niclas Fullkrug sidelined and attacking options slim beyond Callum Wilson and Callum Marshall, West Ham may be plotting a move to add more firepower to their attack. After developing in the youth ranks at America Mineiro, Roque moved to Cruzeiro in 2019 and made a senior breakthrough in 2021."
"Given financial constraints, West Ham are reportedly exploring a swap deal that includes Luis Guilherme as the makeweight, supplemented with cash to sweeten the move, according to Claret & Hugh.

West Ham United are linked with a potential January move for Vitor Roque, targeting increased attacking depth amid injuries to Niclas Fullkrug and limited options beyond Callum Wilson and Callum Marshall. Roque progressed from America Mineiro to Cruzeiro, then Athletico Paranaense, scoring 21 goals in 60 appearances before joining Barcelona in January 2024. After a loan to Real Betis and a return to Brazil with Palmeiras in February 2025, Roque has scored nine goals in 26 appearances. West Ham reportedly consider including Luis Guilherme plus cash as part of a swap to secure Roque.
