Some of the reports gaining traction in the last couple of weeks, whilst not totally outrageous, have seemed a little \u2018far fetched\u2019. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.claretandhugh.info\/real-madrid-star-on-loan-to-west-ham-report-points-the-way-ahead\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">West Ham<\/a> need a striker in the January window, of that there is no doubt.<\/p>\n<p>But every time another \u2018report\u2019 popped up linking the Hammers with Real Madrid\u2019s Endrick , the whole concept of the Brazilian youngster landing at West Ham seemed less and less plausible.<\/p>\n<p>Finally it seems that there\u2019s a whole bunch of media outlets that have caught on and finally woken up and smelt the coffee. Kendrick, I\u2019m sorry to say, won\u2019t be east-London bound any time soon.

The teenager will have severe top clubs in Europe m \u2013 all with Champions League or Europa League footy to offer him and his agent \u2013 so West Ham\u2019s chance of luring Kendrick to London stadium has always been, pretty slim.<\/p>\n<p>For a striker who cannot get first team football and wants to play in the Premier League \u2013 the Irons would be in with a shout, guaranteed game time and all \u2013 \u00a0but chances are \u00a0it won\u2019t be Real Madrid\u2019s impressive young forward. More\u2019s the pity.<\/p>\n<p>And just in case Hammers fans are clinging forlornly to another \u2018hopeful\u2019 name being thrown around during the international break \u2013 wishful thinking won\u2019t make it Ivan Toney either, on his \u00a3300k \u2013 plus a week wages.
