Hammers face competition for Bento
West Ham's bid to sign Brazilian goalkeeper Bento is under serious threat from Genoa.
The Hammers have offered a loan with option to buy to Bento's club Al Nassr but the 26-year-old is understood to prefer the chance to move to Italy instead.
West Ham are now in a perilous league position following last night's 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest where keeper Alphonse Areola gave away the crucial penalty after punching Morgan Gibbs-White in the head.
