West Ham Reignite Interest in Inter Forward Gabriel Barbosa After Return to Brazil Squad

West Ham are once again keen on signing Inter forward Gabriel Barbosa, who is currently on loan at Flamengo.

Gabigol struggled at I Nerazzurri, but is thriving in a loan spell back in Brazil. The 23-year-old has netted 23 goals and provided five assists in his last 25 appearances for Flamengo, resulting in a recall to the Brazil national team.

The Hammers have shown an interest in acquiring his services for a while, with the player keen to play in the Premier League, and it appeared as though a deal was close at one stage - but, of course, nothing materialised.
