Manuel Pellegrini is weighing up his options in the January window and whether he could boost his attack with the Samba star.
The Hammers boss will assess all his transfer targets before a decision is made on “Gabigol”, who says he wants to speak to Inter this week about his future.
Gabriel put himself on the global map when he started at Santos but did not settle in Europe before heading back to South America.
But being made available has put clubs on red alert for a player who forced his way into the Brazil team two years ago.

The Brazilian has been close to move to the Premier League before as Burnley was interested in offering him an escape route from Inter back in 2017.
But the move collapsed because of work permit troubles.
Gabriel was branded Serie A's worst player in 2017, beating Juan Iturbe and ex-Arsenal defender Thomas Vermaelen to the infamous 'title'.
However, he rejuvenated his career back in his homeland and scored 18 goals for Santos in 35 games last year.
New West Ham signing Samir Nasri is looking forward to being back on the pitch
