West Ham United are lining up a shock move for Barcelona attacker Martin Braithwaite.

The Catalan giants signed Braithwaite after special dispensation from La Liga to cover for injuries to Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele.

But Braithwaite is unlikely to play much, as the duo should be fit when La Liga eventually resumes after the COVID-19 outbreak.

The Sunsuggests that West Ham would have a chance of signing the former Middlesbrough man.

He was previously starring for Leganes in La Liga before the move to Barca.
