West Ham United have reportedly been speaking to the agents of Brazilian starlet Andre Trindade.
According to a report from 90 Min, West Ham are in the mix to sign Fluminese youngster Andre Trindade, although Fulham are the first club to make a concrete move for the Brazil international.

‘Elite’ Brazil international Andre Trindade on West Ham radar
90 Min reckon hat that Hammers have been in talks with the 22-year-old Fluminese ace’s representatives.
The defensive midfielder is a real talent and already has one international cap for Brazil to his name.
He has been described by performance analysts as a player with elite positional awareness – and that’s exactly what you look for in a defensive midfielder.
The Fluminese star is a really tenacious tackler and has energy and athleticism in abundance. He’s actually very similar to Casemiro in the way that he plays.
Andre Trinadade seemingly has all of the attributes needed to succeed in the Premier League.
Everything Barca claim that he will cost around €30 million this summer (£26 million). That’s an awful lot of money to spend on someone who has no experience in playing at the highest level in Europe.
However, that fee may well end up looking like an absolute bargain. And I’d love it if West Ham signed the 22-year-old this summer.
