It is the second successive transfer window where the Brazilian has been touted for a move to the Premier League before talks have fallen apart.

West Ham were keen to bring him to England last summer and even sent technical director Tim Steidten to Brazil to rubber stamp the deal.

Alberto has some European pedigree under his belt, although his spell with Zenit St. Petersburg yielded just 16 appearances.
