West Ham United need to up our offer for Yuri Alberto by another £4 million it seems.

New fee emerges for Yuri Alberto as West Ham desperately try to seal striker deal
UOL reckon that the Hammers need to up our opening £17 million offer for the Brazil international by another £4 million, if we want to bring him to East London.
Moyes and/or Tim Steidten are clearly very keen to get this deal done before the transfer window slams shut.
He has been described as a pacy striker who is good with either foot by ESDF Analysis.
Yuri Alberto is a very hard worker as well and is always willing to make tireless runs into the channels. It’s little wonder why Moyes might be interested in bringing him to the London Stadium!
However, he doesn’t possess a very impressive goalscoring record and has averaged a goal every 3.3 games in his career to date.
There are also concerns that he might not be ready for Premier League football.
There’s only one way to find out though. If West Ham sign Yuri Alberto, we will obviously all get behind him when he joins.
