What’s the story?
Well, it seems West Ham are firmly in the race to sign Isco, along with Arsenal, Juventus, AC Milan and Sevilla.
It was Eurosport who claimed that Arsenal are keen on the 29-year-old, with Newcastle also hoping to secure his signature.
Moyes is keen to sign the Spain international, as the Scot feels he doesn’t have a player of his profile already at the London Stadium.
Isco – who becomes a free agent in June – has been somewhat frozen out at Real Madrid, having struggled to assert himself under Carlo Ancelotti.
So far this season, the former Malaga playmaker – who El Españyol state is currently valued at €15m (£13m) – has made just three starts in La Liga.
Nevertheless, Isco is still a fine player – you don’t win the Champions League on four occasions if you’re not talented.
West Ham need Isco more than Arsenal
In our view, Isco should join West Ham over Arsenal, as he’d be more valued in east London.
Mikel Arteta already has players who adopt similar positions to the Spaniard, such as Martin Ødegaard and Emile Smith Rowe.
However, Moyes doesn’t really have a silky playmaker to compliment Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek in midfield.
You can see why the 58-year-old is desperate to sign Isco, as he has the ability to take this West Ham side up a level.
Keep an eye on this saga, as Isco looks set to leave Real Madrid this summer.
