West Ham are reportedly interested in the talented young Premier League midfielder.
With Lucas Paqueta’s future still completely unclear, it is important that West Ham are prepared for all scenarios – he could stay in East London, but it is also entirely possible he could be found guilty of betting allegations, serve a ban or even be sold.
If either of the latter happens, the Hammers will need to be prepared to find a replacement – despite his poor form, the Brazilian remains an important player and finding a replacement for him may not be easy.
However, Fischerges says they already have a potential replacement with plenty of Premier League experience lined up.
Julio Encisio is just 20 years old and entering his third season in the Premier League, and while he may not have the most playing time, he is arguably Brighton’s most talented player at the moment. That’s pretty impressive.
However, the Seagulls have been unable to convince him to agree a new contract and may try to cash in on him over the next few transfer windows to avoid losing him for free.
With a number of clubs across Europe closely monitoring his situation, the Irons may need to convince him to join our squad rather than one of the continent’s elite teams.
