West Ham United are moving for Red Bull Bragantino defender Leo Ortiz.

The Brazilian is ready to leave Bragantino for Europe this summer.

Ortiz, 26, has yet to make his international debut but feels a transfer to a major European league could help his ambition to win a place in Tite's squad for the World Cup.

Globo Esporte says the Sao Paulo-based club are prepared to sell for a fee in the region of £8million.

There is also interest from Italy.

West Ham are in talks with his agent, Paulo Pitombeira, about bringing the stopper to London.
