West Ham are interested in Brazilian teenager Kerlon Moura Souza.
The 19-year-old plays for Cruzeiro but wants to come to Europe.
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.
