Still only 23, Igor carries a £30m price-tag and West Ham's interest raises the prospect of a swap involving Lucas Paqueta.

Botafogo owner John Textor is willing to do business and had plans to place Igor at Everton if his takeover bid had been successful.

Textor is a fan of Paqueta, says The Sun, with a swap option now being considered.
