# West Ham United: Club are interested in Brighton left-back Bernardo

**West Ham United have not been[that active](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/west-ham-united/transfers/verein/379) in the transfer window, but the latest reports suggest that this might be about to change as [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11741/12061076/bernardo-brighton-left-back-wanted-by-turkish-champions-istanbul-basaksehir) are reporting, via [West Ham Gossip](https://twitter.com/westham_gossip/status/1301781872184352768?s=20), that the club are interested in Brighton left-back Bernardo.**

The defender, who used to play for Bundesliga side RB Leipzig, has made 43 appearances for Brighton, picking up one assist and keeping six clean sheets, per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bernardo/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/364258/wettbewerb/GB1/verein/1237), and despite the fact that the club are linked with the possible signing, a lot of the fan base are not happy.

It is probably fair due to the fact that the £4.32m-valued Brazilian only made [14](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bernardo/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/364258/wettbewerb/GB1/verein/1237) appearances in the Premier League last season, highlighting that Brighton only really see him as a squad player and not a regular starter.

At the moment the club only have an interest in the player, and haven’t made a bid, but with starting left-back Aaron Cresswell [30](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/68049/Show/Aaron-Cresswell), the club do need to look for a replacement to come in soon.
