West Ham face missing out on Brazilian starlet Vitor Roque to Arsenal in the summer transfer window.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Arsenal are now pushing hard to sign Vitor Roque – a player West Ham tried really hard to sign in January.

Hammers boss David Moyes tried to bring the talented Brazilian teenager to the London Stadium in the winter, but Athletico Paranaense’s £36 million demands put paid to that.

Roque would have been a sensational addition to West Ham’s ranks, but it seems as though there is bad news on the horizon for us.

Arsenal are allegedly making moves to sign the teenager…

Vitor Roque could be Arsenal bound with West Ham set to miss out

Mundo Deportivo claim that the Gunners are now pushing hard to bring the South American attacker to North London.

The 18-year-old is a really special talent and will undoubtedly go on to become a real star in the game.

Foot The Ball describe Roque as an ‘incredible’ young player. He is a truly stunning athlete with an incredibly high ceiling.

He can play on either wing or as a centre-forward, and he has already racked up a very respectable 19 goals and seven assists in 67 senior appearances (Transfermarkt).

As you would imagine, the Brazilian possesses exceptional technical ability. He has incredible pace and strength for someone so young and is a really hard worker off the ball.

In my opinion, Vitor Roque will go on to become a real star in the game, so he’ll be well worth the £36 million fee. In fact, that will look like an absolute steal in a few year’s time.

Arsenal beating West Ham to the signing of Vitor Roque will be a major blow for us in my opinion.
