Pedro Obiang is reportedly keen to leave West Ham United after starting 12 Premier League games under Manuel Pellegrini.
Pedro Obiang is keen to leave West Ham United this summer and seal a return to Italy, according to the Guardian.
A former Spain U21 international who spent seven years at Sampdoria before joining the Hammers in a bargain £4.3 million deal, as reported by the Telegraph, Obiang was a key player under David Moyes and Slaven Bilic but it hasn’t been quite the same story since Manuel Pellegrini took over at the London Stadium.
Obiang started just half of his 24 Premier League appearances in 2018/19. And his chances of a regular role will only decrease if Pellegrini manages to lure Andre Gomes to the capital.
The Guardian claims that West Ham have made a new £20 million bid for the Barcelona midfielder, who spent last season on loan at Everton.
With this in mind, the report adds that Obiang is keen to secure a return to Italian football should an opportunity arise.
Sky Sports (9 July, 5.58pm) claimed last summer that West Ham rejected offers from Fiorentina and Atalanta and it remains to be seen if either club renews their interest.
