some young south american on loan for a year - nippy striker
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]West Ham are set to sign Paraguayan striker Brian Montenegro.
According to reports emanating from South America this afternoon, the young forward will offically sign a one-year deal with West Ham next Monday.
Speaking to Ultima Hora, Montenegro said: "I am happy for this transfer to English football, it is a very important league. Now I can only w**k to be accommodated in West Ham's first team.
"Thank God, I'm adapting well to the schedule and the system of life here. Now I will w**k hard to continue succeeding."
Montenegro is understood to have recently acquired an Italian passport, without which he would have been unable to move to London.
The striker is just one of two young South Americans linked with a move to London in recent weeks - the other being fellow Paraguayan youth international Jorge Ortega, who currently plays for Tacuary FBC.
