£26m-rated La Liga ace Lobotka has been linked with numerous Premier League clubs, including Manuel Pellegrini’s West Ham United.
Maxi Gomez might not be the only Celta Vigo player who signs for West Ham United this month.
According to The Mirror (27 January, page 61), The Hammers are keen to sign the £35 million-rated Uruguayan striker on an initial loan deal before the January transfer window shuts this month.
The report adds, however, that Manuel Pellegrini’s side are also in talks over a deal for Celta’s highly-rated defensive midfielder Stanislav Lobotka.
Lobotka has been linked with a whole host of Premier League clubs this month. Paris United have claimed that Wolverhampton Wanderers are keen on the £26 million-rated Slovakian international while Calciomercato have also linked Leicester City, Chelsea and Bournemouth.
West Ham, then, can expect to face plenty of competition.
But TEAMtalk have provided a very positive update on Monday morning. It is understood that Lobotka is interested in a move to West Ham as he is keen on the idea of living in London.
The 24-year-old, who joined Celta from Nordsjaelland in 2017 is renowned for his combative and aggressive approach in the centre of the park, meaning he could be the man to finally replace Mark Noble at the London Stadium.
