West Ham United have made an offer for Al-Nassr goalkeeper Bento as they look to strengthen their squad. The 26-year-old Brazilian, who has six international caps, started his career at Athletico Paranaense before moving to Saudi Arabia. His competition for a place in the Brazil national team includes Alisson and Ederson.
The Hammers have already signed forwards Pablo Felipe and Taty Castellanos this window. The move for Bento indicates a focus on defensive reinforcements as they aim to turn their season around.
Elsewhere, Manchester City could enter the market after Josko Gvardiol suffered a broken shin. They have recalled Max Alleyne from Watford and may consider a move for Crystal Palace's Marc Guéhi, whose contract expires in six months. Liverpool also maintain an interest in the England international.
Burnley left-back Quilindschy Hartman may leave after just six months, with Besiktas preparing a bid. The Dutchman is currently out of the first-team picture at Turf Moor.
Bournemouth have had a £35m bid for Stuttgart winger Jamie Leweling rejected as they seek a replacement for Antoine Semenyo, who is reportedly heading to Manchester.
