West Ham must blow Man United away to sign Real Madrid sensation in January
Endrick has been isolated from the Real Madrid team as he desperately seeks a January escape – now West Ham and Man United could be the two clubs to benefit.
The Brazilian has failed to make a single appearance this season for los Blancos as a spot in Carlo Ancelotti‘s Seleção grows thin.
The 19-year-old is now expected to leave the Spanish capital on loan in January as Premier League clubs circle for his signature.
This comes after Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness exclusively told Football Insider that Real Madrid have their eye on signing Erling Haaland in the future with Endrick clearly out of Alonso’s plans.
Football Insider considers the English teams who must go all-out to land the signature of the talented South American prodigy in the coming transfer window.
Endrick to give Benjamin Sesko stiff competition at Man United
Man United believed Benjamin Sesko had turned a corner after finally ending his goal drought before the October international break.
However, shambolic displays for Slovenia and a surprise benching against Liverpool on 19 October show that the former RB Leipzig man is not guaranteed a starting role moving forward.
Ruben Amorim is clearly uncertain over the Slovenian’s potential and the arrival of Endrick would be a good way to provide some intense competition for the striker role.
Signing the 19-year-old on loan would be a low-risk decision with huge upside if he can find his Palmeiras form that saw Real Madrid drop everything to bring him in.
Pushing for a return to European football, an extra attacking option could be crucial for the Red Devils targeting the top half of the table for the second half of the season.
West Ham to offer guaranteed minutes as Endrick targets World Cup 2026
Albeit not the best side in the Premier League based on current form, a move to east London could be a masterstroke for the Brazilian.
The forward could follow in the footsteps of compatriot Lucas Paqueta who snubbed summer interest to stay at West Ham.
The decision was primarily motivated by the allure of World Cup football with the number 10 assured of regular game time that has kept him in Ancelotti’s squad selections.
Endrick could benefit from his countryman’s smart tactics and, by playing consistently up top with poor quality competition from Niclas Fullkrug and Callum Wilson, could sneak his way into the Brazil World Cup squad.
Moreover, Hammers boss Nuno Espirito Santo speaks the same language as the 19-year-old, allowing an easier understanding between manager and player over tactics and demands.
