West Ham are increasing their pursuit of Inter’s Gabriel Barbosa, making him a ‘concrete goal’ in the January transfer window.
The 22-year-old is looking to get away from Inter, having just returned from a loan deal at former club Santos. He has been at the Nerazzurri since 2016, making just ten appearances in his time at San Siro.
As reported by Sky Sports in Italy, West Ham began the first contacts with Barbosa and Inter a couple of weeks ago, with talks developing very quickly ahead of the transfer window.
The move would benefit all three parties, with Barbosa eager for a move to the Premier League and Inter looking to sell him.
