West Ham United will have to move quickly to land Atletico Mineiro striker Diego Tardelli.

The Hammers and Liverpool are chasing the prolific Brazil international striker.

However, it's emerged Porto are willing to meet Atletico's £6 million asking price for Tardelli and hope to wrap up a deal quickly.

New Porto coach Andre Villas Boas is keen to make his own mark on the squad, and will make space for Tardelli in the crowded roster of strikers at the club by moving Ernesto Farias in the opposite direction. Reports from Brazil indicate that Cruzeiro have reopened negotiations for Farias after a previous move fell through in January.
