West Ham United are preparing to re-enter the Brazilian market to sign 18-year-old winger **Rayan** from **Vasco da Gama**, according to **TBR Football**. The player is attracting significant attention across Europe, with Premier League clubs like **Brentford**, **Brighton**, **Crystal Palace**, **Fulham**, and **Nottingham Forest** reportedly monitoring him. However, **Fiorentina** are currently leading the race, believing a £6m offer could secure his services, with other European clubs such as **Atalanta**, **Sevilla**, and **Union Berlin** also showing interest.
Rayan, who has been a semi-regular in Vasco da Gama’s first team this season, is reportedly available for around £8.5 million, as his contract is set to expire in 14 months. This fee is seen as a relatively low price for a promising talent, making it an attractive option for clubs looking to strengthen their squad with a long-term investment.
This move follows **Tim Steidten’s** efforts to secure young Brazilian talents for West Ham, such as **Luis Guilherme** from Palmeiras earlier this summer, though the latter has yet to make a significant impact in the Premier League.
West Ham’s approach to Brazilian talent has not always yielded immediate success, but the club’s ongoing interest in Rayan demonstrates their commitment to bolstering both present and future options for their squad.
