West Ham hold the key to Gabriel Barbosa's proposed exit from Inter Milan, according to reports in Portugal.
The Hammers are targeting Benfica's Raul Jimenez and should they succeed in luring the Mexico international to the London Stadium, it will pave the way for Gabigol to head to the Portuguese giants.
The 20-year-old frontman is desperate to kickstart his career elsewhere after a forgettable year in Italy and Benfica have already agreed to take him on-loan for the remainder of the current campaign - if they can offload Jimenez.
Benfica need to make cuts to their budget and, according to Record, cannot afford to bring the former Santos man in without first making a sale.
