West Ham United are reportedly one of several clubs interested in signing Leeds United winger Raphinha.
The 25-year-old has excelled for the Whites since his arrival from Rennes in October 2020, scoring 14 goals and providing 11 assists from 51 appearances across all competitions.
Raphinha and his agent, former Chelsea midfielder Deco, are understood to have held positive talks with Leeds over a new and improved contract, with his current deal set to expire in June 2024.
However, Sky Sports News reports that West Ham are closely monitoring Raphinha's situation ahead of a proposed move for the winger.
Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Bayern Munich have all been credited with an interest in the Brazil international earlier in the transfer window.
Raphinha has previously indicated that he is happy at Elland Road and believes he can fulfil his career ambitions under Marcelo Bielsa.
West Ham boss David Moyes is in the market for attacking reinforcements, with Reims forward Hugo Ekitike and Chelsea's academy graduate Armando Broja – currently on loan with Southampton – two more players believed to be on his radar.
