West Ham United are setting their sights on Benfica striker Darwin Nunez.

The news comes after West Ham were knocked by Leeds in their approach for Raphinha.

David Moyes is desperate to add more attacking firepower to his squad before the transfer window shuts on Monday.

Leeds rejected a £50m from West Ham for Raphinha, and now other options are being assessed.

The Mirror says West Ham's new recruitment chief Rob Newman could turn to Uruguay international Nunez.

The 22-year-old has scored 18 goals for Benfica so far this season.

Benfica, who are still competing in the Champions League, will only welcome offers in excess of £50m.
