West Ham transfer target Kaio Jorge is expected “to leave” Cruzeiro during the January transfer window, according to reports in Brazil.
Both the Hammers and Aston Villa have been mentioned as potential suitors in recent weeks and Portal Cruzeirense report that the striker’s departure is anticipated, with Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus being pursued as his replacement.

Jorge had a great season for Cruzeiro, scoring 24 goals and providing 7 assists in 42 appearances, but he could be set for a return to Europe.
The 23-year-old had an ill-fated spell at Juventus, but he has matured a lot recently, having been handed his first senior cap for Brazil back in September.
A replacement for Fullkrug is needed
Niclas Fullkrug is trying to force a move away from the London Stadium, with his agent said to be holding talks with clubs in Germany and other countries.
There doesn’t appear to be a way back for the 32-year-old, so finding a replacement is a top priority, with Jorge seemingly among the options under consideration.
