West Ham United have bid for Santos dazzler Neymar.
The Daily Mail says West Ham have made a £16million offer for Santos wonderkid Neymar.
It emerged this week that the Hammers had joined some of Europe's top clubs in tracking the 18-year-old forward and sources in Brazil say they have now submitted a formal bid.
Santos have consistently insisted they do not want to sell their jewel for at least another year and have previously indicated they will not do a deal for less than his £28.4m release clause.
However, if they do accept West Ham's offer - surpassing the club-record £7.5m they paid for Craig Bellamy in 2007 - the same deal would be offered to Manchester City, which have first refusal on the youngster.
