West Ham United FC transfer news: Slaven Bilic suggests permanent Jonathan Calleri deal could be on the cards

Slaven Bilic has suggested he could be tempted into keeping out-of-favour forward Jonathan Calleri at West Ham beyond his season-long loan spell.

The 23-year-old, on loan from Deportivo Maldonado, has been used sparingly throughout the campaign and has hardly impressed in his limited game time.

Although there were claims Bilic would not be interested in extending Calleri's stay in East London beyond this season, the West Ham boss has admitted he may actually look to keep the once highly-rated attacker around.

"We're going to see. All I can say is he's a very good professional," Bilic responded, when asked about Calleri’s future.
