Despite only joining the Londoners 12 months ago, Luizao has struggled to make an impact and has failed to feature in a single senior game — he has been resigned to representing the Under-21s in the Premier League 2.

And according to Brazilian reporter Andre Hernan, three clubs in Brazil are hopeful of poaching the 21-year-old away from England.

Fellow Brazilian journalist Gabriel Sa has also backed these claims up by revealing Botafogo’s interest, although the club are only interested in a loan deal at this stage. Nevertheless, contact with the Hammers is thought to have been made so fans should expect a possible exit before the end of the January window.
