West Ham are set to hold talks with Chilean striker Sebastian Pinto, according to reports.

Today's Daily Mirror claims that United will meet the once-cappped 22-year-old forward and his representatives later this week in order to thrash out a possible permanent move to East London.

El Tanque - as he is known in his home country - is available for transfer having fallen out with current club Santos, whom he joined on a free transfer from Universidad de Chile. The striker, according to the report, has rejected other offers in order to discuss United's offer.

6'2" Pinto made his league debut for Universidad at the age of just 16. His only appearanace thus far for Chile came two years ago in an unofficial friendly against the Aragon national football team.
