West Ham United FC transfer news: Hammers scouting Yacine Brahimi ahead of summer bid for Porto star

The Algerian has previously been linked with the likes of Crystal Palace and Everton after impressing in Portugal since moving there in 2014.

Now, according to O Jogo, West Ham are tracking the 27-year-old too after sending scouts to watch him in action.

The Hammers are expected to bring in a number of recruits this summer to bolster their squad for next season.

Brahimi is a player who has previously been on their radar and they now want to look at him closely ahead of a concrete offer.

West Ham scouts were reportedly at Porto's game on Saturday against Belenenses and they would have been impressed with Brahimi as he got on the scoresheet in a 3-0 win.
