Newspaper A Bola today reports that the Hammers placed a bid to sign the 23-year-old this summer. It’s said that despite Tavares’ currently loan from Arsenal to Olympique Marseille. He is not staying in France. Mikel Arteta doesn’t count on him either, and that’s why West Ham are working to get him.
