West Ham are set to make a second bid for Botafogo goalkeeper John Victor, according to reports in Brazil.
The 29-year-old stopper is said to be keen on a move to the Premier League following his impressive performances in the Club World Cup.
Yesterday, Fabrizio Romano revealed the Hammers had a €8 million offer rejected, but it’s now being reported that a second bid—potentially above €10 million—could be submitted today.

ExWHUEmployee also disclosed yesterday that there is a buyout clause in Victor’s contract, and it was suggested that the player may have been offered to West Ham by an agent.
The club remain interested in both Mads Hermansen and Zion Suzuki, but momentum behind those moves appears to have slowed over the past 24 hours.
As the search for a new No.1 continues, Ex has this morning confirmed that any new keeper would compete with Alphonse Areola who is expected to stay at West Ham.
