Fulham are looking to improve their attacking options in the coming months and they could look to make a move for the Flamengo centre forward Pedro.

The 26-year-old has been a key player for Flamengo and he has 33 goals to his name this season. As per Jorge Nicola, the striker has a €60 million release clause in his contract and it remains to be seen whether Fulham can negotiate a more reasonable price for the Brazilian.

The opportunity to move to the Premier League could be an attractive proposition for the player and he is likely to be tempted if there is a concrete proposal from Fulham on the table.

Meanwhile, Flamengo will hope to recoup as much as possible for their key star and they could demand a premium for him.

Fulham need to improve their attacking options in order to finish the season strongly and the Brazilian could transform them in the final third. They have not been able to replace Aleksandar Mitrovic since the Serbian international’s departure at the start of the season.

Pedro could be the ideal alternative to Mitrovic. He has proven himself in South America and he will be keen to test himself in the Premier League now. It would be a major step up in his career and an exciting opportunity.

If he manages to impress with Fulham, he might get the chance to play for a big club in the near future as well.

West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing the Brazilian striker Pedro this summer.

A report via iG Esporte claims that the London club have shown interest in signing the 26-year-old striker who has scored 27 goals for Flamengo in 2023.

David Moyes is looking to bring in a quality striker and West Ham have already failed with their approach to sign Yuri Alberto from Corinthians.

It seems that Pedro has been identified as an alternative to his compatriot, and it remains to be seen whether the Hammers can secure his services before the window closes.

The Flamengo striker has a release clause in his contract of around €60 million and the Brazilian outfit will look to recoup as much as possible for him.

The report adds that Flamengo do not want to sell him in this transfer window and therefore it is fair to assume that West Ham might have to trigger his release clause in order to sign the player.

Pedro is undoubtedly a proven goalscorer and he could prove to be a useful option in the attack for West Ham. The Hammers struggled to score goals last season and signing a quality finisher should be a top priority for them.

West Ham will be competing in the UEFA Europa League this season and they need better-quality players in order to do well across multiple competitions.

They are likely to have the finances to pull off the transfer after selling Declan Rice for a club record fee and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.

If there’s one thing about West Ham’s Premier League season that has characterised them, it’s an inability to put the ball in the back of the net.

Despite having the likes of Michail Antonio, Jarrod Bowen, Gianluca Scamacca, Maxwell Cornet and Danny Ings in situ, they’ve still only managed a paltry 27 goals in 29 games per the official Premier League website.

Goals are a striker’s currency, but very rarely have the Hammers front line cashed in this season, and with a porous defence leaking 39 goals in the same period, the issues facing David Moyes are obvious.

Perhaps it’s with that in mind that the east Londoners are in the hunt for a Brazilian marksman who already has an incredible scoring record of 14 goals in 15 games.

West Ham London Stadium

According to sources speaking to Football Insider, if the Hammers are able to stay up this season then they will aim to do a deal for Flamengo’s prolific 25-year-old marksman, Pedro.

Clearly a man in form, the issue facing West Ham is the same one they’ve had with Scamacca and Sebastien Haller before that.

If you’re going to play a certain way, then the right kind of player for your system needs to be purchased. It’s no good trying to shoehorn talent into positions that are not suited for either player or club.

Concentrating on another season in the English top-flight is the priority, and only then should discussions begin on securing this particular South American talent.

West Ham United are reportedly keen on signing the Brazilian striker Pedro at the end of the season.

The 25-year-old centre-forward has been in splendid form for Flamengo, and he has 14 goals in 15 appearances across all competitions this season. A report from Football Insider claims the Hammers are looking to sign him.

He was a part of the Brazilian squad during the recently concluded World Cup as well and Pedro has a big future ahead of him.

The Hammers are in desperate need of goalscoring reinforcements, and the Brazilian would be a superb acquisition.

Players like Michail Antonio and Gianluca Scamacca have been largely underwhelming this season and West Ham need a player who can find the back of the net consistently.

The 25-year-old Brazilian will add technical ability and goals in the final third. The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be an attractive option for him as well.

A move to West Ham would be the ideal next step in his career, and Pedro will be hoping to showcase his qualities at a higher level in the Premier League.

It will be interesting to see if West Ham can agree on a fee with Flamengo in the coming months.

Meanwhile, West Ham are currently fighting for their survival in the Premier League and they must preserve their status as a top-flight club if they want to attract top talents like Pedro.

The South American forward is unlikely to join the club in the Championship, and therefore West Ham must survive relegation this season.

Flamengo striker Pedro has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent weeks.

According to a report from Fichajes, West Ham United, Everton and Aston Villa are keen on signing the 25-year-old Brazilian striker at the end of the season.

Pedro has been in impressive form for Flamengo this season and he has 10 goals and 2 assists to his name across all competitions.

West Ham could certainly use someone like him, especially with the way Michail Antonio and Gianluca Scamacca have performed this season. The Italian striker was signed at the start of the season and he was expected to hit the ground running. He has failed to adapt to English football so far and the player could be on his way out of West Ham at the end of the season.

Meanwhile, Everton strikers Neal Maupay and Dominic Calvert-Lewin have been quite underwhelming this season and the Toffees must look to bring in a reliable goal scorer as well.

As far as Aston Villa are concerned, Unai Emery sanctioned the departure of Danny Ings and the West Midlands club will have to bring in a quality replacement.

The 25-year-old has shown his quality in South America and he could be tempted to move to the Premier League in the coming months. The opportunity to showcase his qualities in England could be an exciting proposition for the player and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.

West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing the Brazilian centre forward Pedro.

The 25-year-old has been in fine form for Flamengo this season and he was a part of Brazil’s World Cup squad in Qatar as well.

According to a report from Fichajes, West Ham are interested in signing the South American forward and he could cost in excess of €40 million at the end of the season.

The player has a contract with the Brazilian club until the summer of 2027 and therefore Flamengo are under no pressure to cash in on him just yet.

West Ham will almost certainly need to come forward with a lucrative offer in order to Flamengo in the summer.

It is no surprise that West Ham are looking to improve their attacking options, especially with the way Michail Antonio and Gianluca Scamacca have performed this season.

The Hammers have struggled to find the back of the net consistently and they will need to address that weakness at the end of the season.

Pedro has proven himself in South America and he could be keen on making a step up in his career now.

The Premier League will be an exciting challenge for the 25-year-old and a move to London could be an attractive option for him.

It remains to be seen whether the Hammers are prepared to break the bank for his services.

Pedro has 9 goals and 2 assists to his name across 7 appearances in all competitions this season and he has the quality to establish himself as a key player for the Hammers next season.

Leeds United could secure what could be a hugely underrated signing.

That’s according to journalist Ben Jacobs, who believes the Whites are leading the race to sign Brazilian striker Pedro.

Pedro, 25, plays his domestic football with Flamengo but is currently away on World Cup duty representing Tite’s Brazil.

However, even though the highly-rated 25-year-old still has three years left on his deal with Flamengo, there is widespread speculation that he could move on and be heading for the Premier League.

Speaking to GiveMeSport about Leeds United’s chance of signing the talented South American, Jacobs said: “I think that the other name to keep an eye on from Leeds’ point of view is Pedro, who could obviously be very important for Brazil at this World Cup.

“He’s only 25 years of age, he’s only won a couple of caps for his country, but he was very impressive for Flamengo last season.

“Pretty much played 60-odd games and got either a goal or an assist in half of them and had a real breakthrough in the Copa Libertadores, especially where he scored double figures; almost a goal a game.”

Since joining Flamengo in 2020, Pedro has gone on to feature in 149 matches, in all competitions, directly contributing to 78 goals along the way.

Leeds United are being tipped to break their transfer record if they do move for Flamengo forward Pedro.

The Whites could do with strengthening up front, but YouTube presenter Ger Lynch was surprised by the links, suggesting this would be a record-breaking investment for the club.

“He will be an expensive player if Leeds do look to sign him. You’re talking probably breaking the transfer record, which doesn’t say an awful lot because it’s not that high, but it would be a major move if Leeds were to move for him.”

Leeds fans will be excited by what would be an ambitious move, though it remains to be seen if other clubs could also enter the running.

Leeds United are reportedly interested in signing the Brazilian international Pedro when the transfer window opens in January.

The Premier League side have had a disappointing start to the season so far and they are just two points above the relegation zone.

Jesse Marsch needs to bring in reinforcements during the January window in order to turn things around during the second half of the season and Leeds have identified Pedro as a potential target as per Coluna Do Fla.

The 25-year-old centre-forward is currently away on World Cup duty with Brazil. He has been in scintillating form for Flamengo this season.

The attacker has 29 goals and 10 assists to his name for the Brazilian side this year, and he could be a sensational acquisition for Leeds if they manage to pull it off.

The Whites have looked toothless upfront at times and Pedro will add unpredictability and cutting edge in the final third.

The 25-year-old Brazilian can operate as a wide forward as well and his versatility will be an added bonus for the English side.

One player who has been tipped to sign for Leeds United in the coming window is Flamengo striker Pedro and the 25-year-old has now been backed to become one of the players to watch during the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

Leading transfer expert Fabrizio Romano lifted the lid on Leeds United’s pursuit of Pedro earlier this year with the Italian guru claiming the forward is on the Whites’ transfer shortlist.

Having been called up to represent Brazil, although he is unlikely to start ahead of the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Richarlison, BBC Sport’s Guy Mowbray reckons the 25-year-old is worth keeping an eye on.

Speaking about the Brazilian attacker, Mowbray said that Pedro is a ‘classy player’ and an ‘excellent finisher’ in front of goal.

The commentator added that Flamengo’s Pedro could play a ‘starring’ role if he comes off the bench and Brazil need something different during the World Cup.
