West Ham United a re reportedly eyeing a late summer move for Flamengo striker Pedro.
According to a report from iG Esporte (h/t Caught Offside), the Hammers are showing a keen interest in securing the services of a 26-year-old.
Manager David Moyes is determined to bolster his attacking options, with an earlier attempt to sign Corinthians' Yuri Alberto having fallen through.
The Brazilian has now emerged as a viable alternative to his compatriot, and the Premier League outfit are eager to finalize the deal before the transfer window closes.
Pedro's contract with his current team includes a release clause set at approximately €60 million. While the Brazilian team are reluctant to part ways with their prolific attacker during this transfer window, West Ham might have to trigger the release clause to secure his signature.
