West Ham have tried to sign Bremer on numerous occasions over the past couple of years, going back to when he was playing for Torino.

And with Hammers boss David Moyes keen to bolster his central defensive ranks at the London Stadium this summer, a move to sign Bremer would make sense.

Especially with Juventus so keen to move him on this summer in order to raise funds. He could be available for around €50 million (£43 million) according to Tuttosport.

It seems as though Moyes will have his work cut-out though…

West Ham blow with Tottenham allegedly in strong position to sign Gleison Bremer

Tuttosport claim that Juve are demanding £43 million for Bremer due to financial problems, and Tottenham are in pole position to sign the Brazilian.

Spurs winning the race for the Juventus centre-back will really hurt. He’d be the perfect addition for the Hammers, with Craig Dawson having been sold in January, Angelo Ogbonna nearing the end of his career and Kurt Zouma continuing to struggle with injury problems.

In 30 Serie A outings for Juventus last season, the 26-year-old averaged one tackle, 1.4 interceptions and 3.8 clearances per game. He also won an average of 2.6 aerial duals per match (Who Scored).

Standing at 6ft 2in tall and with a great leap, Bremer is very strong in the air. He is also quick along the ground and is a tenacious tackler.

During his time with Torino, the South American was described as the ‘jewel in the crown’ by Transfer Market Web. And former Torino boss Davide Nicola described him as ‘incredible’.

Meanwhile, Football Transfers have labelled him as an ‘outstanding’ defender.

Here’s an elite player and seems to be perfectly built for the Premier League. Unfortunately for West Ham though, it seems like Gleison Bremer could be Tottenham bound this summer.
