West Ham chief Steidten returns from Brazil empty handed

West Ham are looking at alternatives to one of their summer transfer targets this week.

The Hammers are changing track after talks for Corinthians forward Yuri Alberto hit an impasse.

Per The Mail, West Ham know that time is running out, but they believe they can sign another player.

The London club wants to add a last forward to their squad, even after securing Mohammed Kudus from Ajax.

Given Gianluca Scamacca has joined Atalanta, the club believe they are down on goalscorers.

What is not clear is whether the club have a viable alternative to Alberto this week.

Technical director Tim Steidten even flew into Brazil for talks to get a deal done with Corinthians.
