West Ham’s Brazilian youngster Luis Guilherme remains very much up for sale, Claret & Hugh can reveal this morning.
That’s the latest from our trusted transfer insider, who has been involved in multiple Premier League deals involving South American players.
Guilherme signed from Palmeiras last summer, sparking a flurry of transfer activity that saw the Hammers bring in nine new players.

Unfortunately, the 19-year-old has struggled to secure regular first-team football under either Julen Lopetegui or current manager Graham Potter.
Whilst Guilherme is not actively looking to leave West Ham, he is very much available for transfer according to our source, who told C&H:
“Of course he might leave. The lad almost went in January and there was decent money back on offer from Brazil. Everyone knows West Ham are trying to offload players. Plenty of clubs would take Guilherme at the right price.”

Flamengo are still believed to be interested in the winger, who looked lively when used as a substitute against Nottingham Forest last weekend.
Hammers boss Potter opted against letting the Brazil U18 star leave in January, but the promise of increased first-team football hasn’t materialised as quickly as hoped—and the club are now believed to be open to offers.
