West Ham are interested in signing the Sporting midfielder Joao Palhinha.
According to a report from Record (translated by Sportwitness), the Hammers have already submitted an offer for the player.
The 24-year-old has been approached by other Premier League clubs as per the report but West Ham are the only ones to have come up with an attractive offer.
Palhinha is on loan at Braga right now and it will be interesting to see how the deal progresses.
It is a two-year loan deal and Braga will have to be paid a fine if Sporting want to sell the player now.
