West Ham United have emerged as a candidate for Bayern Munich’s Joao Palhinha and Fulham can also look to bring the midfielder back to Craven Cottage.
The Portuguese has not found his feet in Bavaria and has played only 14 times in the Bundesliga this season. In all competitions, he has played less than 1000 minutes under Vincent Kompany.
This has led to speculation about an exit from Bayern Munich. BILD’s ‘Bayern Insider’ podcast, as relayed by FussballTransfers, has now revealed West Ham have ‘come knocking’ for the midfielder and Fulham are also interested.
Despite Palhinha’s struggles in Germany, the two Premier League clubs are convinced of his abilities.
Even if the defensive midfielder is still keen on making the cut at Bayern Munich, things can change if he fails to become a regular part of the side for the remainder of the season.
This can give hope to both West Ham and Fulham, with the report stating that the German giants can consider a summer sale especially if the right offers arrive in the next few months.
