West Ham have made a bid for Dario Osorio

Universidad de Chile legend Johnny Herrera reckons that the Hammers, as well as Leicester, have already made a concrete offer to bring the 19-year-old forward to the London Stadium.

“One of the majority shareholders (at Universidad) told me that (an offer) came of £5.5 million arrived from West Ham. Now, one from Leicester for £6.7 million as well. “I know of two offers for Osorio. One last year and this one from Leicester.”

So judging by those comments, the Hammers will need to up our offer, if we are to sign Osorio.

The talented teenager, who can play on either wing or in the number 10 position, has already bagged eight goals in 42 senior games for Universidad de Chile (Transfermarkt).

Football Talent Scout have described the young Chilean as a flamboyant winger and compared him to Argentinian legend Angel Di Maria.
