Report: West Ham United youngster set for shock exit as talks advance
Yesterday at 04:15 PM
Once hailed as a rising star at Palmeiras, Guilherme joined West Ham at just 18 years old in a highly-anticipated transfer orchestrated by sporting director Tim Steidten. However, his anticipated departure, which will likely come at a financial loss, has intensified scrutiny on Steidten. The underwhelming performance of his summer signings has already seen his influence diminish in the club's current transfer dealings, which has left the club struggling. Tim Steidten oversaw several signings for West Ham during the last transfer window, but Luis Guilherme's arrival raised eyebrows. Despite showcasing significant potential at Palmeiras, the young forward's addition appeared puzzling at the stop, especially as the Hammers already boasted a strong lineup of players in similar roles, including Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqueta, and Mohammed Kudus. West Ham are reportedly set to offer a contract to promising youngster Josh Landers following a successful trial period. According to the reliable ExWHUEmployee, the 17-year-old striker has impressed during his time with the Hammers and appears poised to secure a permanent place in the club's academy. A Scotland youth international, Landers is widely regarded as an exciting talent, though he will need more time to develop before leaping Premier League football. West Ham have a strong reputation for nurturing young players through their academy and Landers could soon emerge as a valuable option for Graham Potter's attacking lineup in years to come.West Ham United ready fresh deal for upcoming youngster
