West Ham have stepped up their interest in the Paris Saint-Germain striker Hugo Ekitike and are holding further discussions with Corinthians over a deal for Yuri Alberto.
David Moyes is looking to bolster his attack before the transfer window shuts on Friday and West Ham, who have opened talks with PSG over Ekitike, have been tracking several strikers. Tim Steidten, the club’s technical director, has travelled to Brazil in an attempt to agree a fee for Alberto but alternative options are being explored in case the deal for the 22-year-old Brazilian falls through.
