West Ham United are lining up a move for forgotten Real Madrid star Endrick, although any deal would be designed for a loan of some sort.

According to Sport via Sport Witness, Endrick is a target for West Ham United ahead of the January window. The forgotten Real Madrid wonderkid is desperate to play regularly, something he may not be afforded at the Santiago Bernabeu, which could open up an opportunity for a loan move.

West Ham United are in search of market opportunities ahead of the winter transfer window and could stumble upon the chance to sign Real Madrid talent Endrick. The prodigious Brazilian talent has been deprived of minutes since the arrival of Xabi Alonso at the Bernabeu, as a place in the World Cup squad could be at stake.

Endrick has played zero minutes in La Liga this season, and the availability of other stars, as well as the rise of Gonzalo Garcia, has rendered him unwanted at the club. The Spanish giants could be open to a temporary arrangement to help the Brazilian get regular game time from January onwards, and a move to another club, probably even in England, could be on the cards.

Newcastle United previously held an interest, but there are others likely to try and get a deal in place, including West Ham. The East London outfit were keen earlier in the year, and now they could try again to get a deal in place for the 19-year-old Real Madrid wonderkid.

West Ham could line up a loan deal for Endrick ahead of January, which could allow them an opportunity to improve their attacking setup. However, the deal may not be straightforward, considering there will be other clubs, even some from Spain, eager to land the 19-year-old Real Madrid wonderkid.

Real Madrid only wants to send Endrick out on loan

Despite his lack of minutes, Real Madrid are not losing faith in Endrick for the long-term future, as they are only open to a loan agreement. There is every chance the 19-year-old could flourish in the future, and Endrick has what it takes as a talent to do so.

Westy Ham could have a genuine chance of landing the attacker, especially if they can promise him plenty of regular minutes between January and June. The more regularly he plays, the better the chances of him making Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil squad for the World Cup, which could be a sole reason for him to even choose the Hammers.
