West Ham United are reportedly interested in completing a move for 24-year-old Brazilian defender Vitao this summer.
According to Revista Colorada, super agent Kia Joorabchian is now hoping to take 24-year-old Brazilian defender Vitao to West Ham United this summer. It will be interesting to see if the Hammers can secure an agreement with Shakhtar Donetsk.
The 24-year-old was on loan at Internacional this season, and he has done quite well for them. The player is capable of operating as a central defender as well as a right-back. His versatility will be an added bonus for West Ham if they can get the deal done.
The Hammers looked vulnerable at the back this past season, and they will need to improve defensively. Signing a versatile defender could prove to be a wise decision. The 24-year-old certainly has the physical and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League, and he could develop into an important first team player for the Hammers, thus explaining West Ham’s interest.
It will be interesting to see if he can settle in quickly and make an immediate impact if the transfer goes through. West Ham will be hoping to push for European qualification, and they will look to do well in the domestic trophies as well. The East London club need more quality in their side, and they will have to plug the weaknesses in their squad.
West Ham need quality additions
Apart from a quality defender, West Ham should look to invest in a reliable goalscorer as well. West Ham have missed a clinical finisher and signing a quality centre forward could transform them.
The Hammers have appointed Julen Lopetegui as their new manager, and the Spaniard will be expected to transform them next season. It remains to be seen whether he can bring in talented young players like Vitao in the coming weeks and help the Hammers perform at a high level next season.
Meanwhile, the 24-year-old defender will look to prove his quality in the Premier League and join a big club in the near future. He has the potential to play for the top clubs, and a move to the East London club could be a stepping stone for him.
