According to reports, Chelsea and West Ham United are “leading the race” for gifted forward Luis Guilherme of Palmeiras, who is being closely observed by a number of elite teams.
Guilherme most definitely comes into the sort of young players with enormous promise that the Blues have a habit of signing. Nonetheless, it appears that West Ham will compete with them for his signature.
The 17-year-old has already established himself as a mainstay in Palmeiras’ first squad, appearing in 26 senior games this year and contributing two assists.
Guilherme is a flexible player who can play as a striker, winger, or attacking midfielder. Given that he has already played for Brazil at the under-20 level, his talent and ability are undeniable.
Scouts from Manchester United, Manchester City, and Arsenal have observed Guilherme in recent games, as Football365 has previously reported.The teenager is being watched by Bayern Munich, Benfica, Porto, Atletico Madrid, Lyon, and Monaco.
Chelsea and West Ham are said to be leading the hunt for the Palmeiras player, despite the interest shown by all those major European clubs.
Chelsea and West Ham are currently “the favourites” to recruit Guilherme, according to a report from PLA Brazil. When he reaches eighteen in February, they say he might relocate to Europe. However, the agreement could be settled upon before then.
