Should West Ham United survive in the Premier League this season, then they could be an attractive option for some talented up-and-coming players.

TEAMtalk has reported that "Arsenal, Liverpool and Bayern Munich hold confirmed interest in FC Midtjylland star Dario Osorio, but he is more likely to join a club lower down the Premier League such as West Ham United or Fulham."

Joining a top European club would be tempting for Osorio, but as he is just 22, making sure he gets game time is so important. Therefore, a move to a club such as West Ham could be a good fit for them. If he performs for the Hammers, then he can start thinking about representing a team in the Champions League.

Who is the potential West Ham recruit Dario Osorio?

Dario Osorio is a Chilean international who already has 21 caps and two goals for his country. He is predominantly a right winger, but can play right midfield. This may make it difficult for him to get into the West Ham team as he plays in the same position as Jarrod Bowen.

Osorio may be forced to play on the left at West Ham. The Hammers currently have Crysencio Summerville there, but he will be in demand from some top teams in the summer.

Osorio began his career with Universidad de Chile before moving to FC Midtjylland. He won the Danish Superliga in the 2024/25 season and the division's goal of the year in the following campaign.

This season, Osorio has scored six goals with 10 assists in 38 games in all competitions this season. It could be time for him to test himself in the Premier League.
