West Ham want Kerlon

West Ham are interested in Brazilian teenager Kerlon Moura Souza. Real Madrid and Milan are also monitoring the player's situation, but West Ham are still keen to bring in a player to replace Carlos Tevez.

The 19-year-old plays for Cruzeiro and is looking at coming to Europe soon. Torino, Real Betis and Espanyol are also keeping tabs on the £5m rated striker, but the Hammers hope the South America connections that brought Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano to Upton Park will put them in pole position.
