Raul Bobadilla, 21, is reportedly a target for English Premier League side West Ham United.

He enjoyed an impressive campaign with Grasshopper in the Swiss League last season, scoring 18 goals and attracting the interest of West Ham's recently appointed technical director, Gianluca Nani, who is said to be keen to take the Argentinian to the Boleyn Ground.

West Ham manager Alan Curbishley has been linked with several strikers as he attempts to increase his goalscoring options in the new Premier League campaign.

But he has so far met with little joy, Everton's Andrew Johnson proving an elusive target.

Grasshopper are thought likely to demand around £3million for Bobadilla, which should be comfortably accommodated within the Hammer's transfer budget.

okay then... :?

that contradicts what we heard about buying to sell...

what worries me is that we keep hearing of these good players that Nani has targeted but we never actually get any of them :(

I am sure Nani will bring in a couple of players that will not cost us much money.
Bob the builder could be one of them.

Yeah, plenty of time let and I'm looking forward to seeing who Nani scouts out for us.
