LUIS GUILHERME will be "electric" in the Premier League.
That's the verdict of ex-Everton and Crystal Palace star Yannick Bolasie, who recently faced the teenager in Brazil.
West Ham announced the £25million capture of 18-year-old Guilherme from Palmeiras on a five-year contract earlier this month.
The winger has already made 40 senior appearances, won the Brazilian Serie A title, played in the Copa Libertadores and been capped by his country at Under-20s level.
Bolasie, who made 119 Premier League appearances, played against Guilherme for his latest club Criciuma in Brazil on June 2.
He ended up opposite Guilherme, who was a half-time substitute on the right wing for Palmeiras in a 2-1 win at Criciuma in the top flight.
Bolasie, 35, said: "Guilherme is electric and very quick-he's definitely exciting. He plays on the right side, but is left-footed and likes to come in and shoot.
