WEST HAM could make a bargain bid for in- demand South American sensation Dario Osorio.
The winger, 19, plays for Chilean top-flight side Universidad de Chile and got the first of his two Chile caps last year.
Osorio has already turned down a move to Brazil because he wants to come to Europe.
The Hammers are expected to table an offer around £7.5million this week while AC Milan are also keen on buying him and loaning him out.
Universidad will sell at the right price and West Ham could grab him in before other Prem clubs act, with Wolves also tracking the star.

The Hammers are also waiting to find out what Everton midfielder Amadou Onana plans to do.
Irons boss David Moyes is keen on the Belgium ace, 21, but the player would prefer a Champions League club if he moves.
Meanwhile, West Ham hope to agree payment terms with Arsenal for the £105m transfer of Declan Rice by Monday, SunSport can reveal.
The Gunners have agreed a deal in principle to sign England star Rice, 24, for a record fee between two British clubs - £100m plus £5m add-ons.
Despite also agreeing on personal terms, negotiations have continued regarding the payment structure of the upfront £100m sum.

Hammers chiefs want it all by the start of 2025 – whereas Arsenal would prefer financially to stagger a section of it across a longer period.
SunSport now understands that sources close to the deal expect those negotiations to conclude by the start of next week.
These minor payment issues have never been seen as derailing, but West Ham have been digging their heels in to get the deal they want.
