West Ham back in race for €44m Arsenal, Juve target

West Ham back in race for €44m Arsenal, Juve target

West Ham are back in the race for William Carvalho, according to the latest sources.

He is also liked by Juventus and Arsenal, and the Hammers haven’t begun the season very well, losing two straight Premier League games, including a 4-0 humbling at Old Trafford.

The Sporting Lisbon star has been chased by a number of teams over the last few months.

He was the subject of a massive £25 million (€27.6m) bid earlier this summer, though the trail looked to have cooled of late.  

There’s a problem, however: so far, Sporting wouldn’t want to let their man go for anything short of 44 million, his release clause.

Slaven Bilic has expressed his desire to spend more, despite the Hammers adding Javier Hernandez and Marko Arnatuvoci this summer.

Carvalho is seen as a strong midfield passer and a clever tackler, and was a European Champions with Portugal last summer.
