Goalkeeper John Victor still keen on Premier League transfer despite brutal West Ham snub
'JILTED' John Victor still wants to play in England despite his West Ham snub.
Brazilian keeper Victor was left in the lurch at Rio airport while Hammers agreed an £18million fee with Leicester for Mads Hermansen.

The Botafogo stopper, 29, pushed for a West Ham move as the clubs haggled and the South Americans had already signed Neto from Bournemouth as a replacement.
Despite all that, Victor is still hoping to come to the Prem and is now available to move on loan with a view to a buy.
The 6ft 5in goalkeeper joined Botafogo from Brazilian giants Santos in 2024.
He helped the John Textor-owned outfit to become Brazilian Serie A champions last season.
He also featured for the club in the Club World Cup, keeping a clean sheet in their 1-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the group stage.
The Brazilian has been linked with Man Utd this window as Ruben Amorim looks to strengthen his options in net.
The Red Devils have also been linked with PSG's Gianluigi Donnarumma this window.
The Italian made an explosive statement suggesting he was being forced out of the club last week, and thanking the fans for his experiences in the French capital.

Victor is highly regarded for his ball playing ability, a trait increasingly sought out in modern goalkeepers.
However, his inexperience could be a sticking point for some of the game's top clubs, having played less than 140 senior matches at 29-years-old.
