The Spanish midfielder has been in good form for the Hammers recently.
Italian side Fiorentina are putting into place their transfer plans for the winter, with a central midfielder at the forefront of their thinking.
It is now being reported in Italy that one of the names being considered is that of West Ham United midfielder Pedro Obiang.

The Spanish midfielder previously played in Italy with Sampdoria before his move to West Ham and has been linked with a move to Fiorentina in the past.
TuttoMercatoWeb is reporting that one option that Fiorentina are considering is West Ham’s 24-year-old midfielder Obiang.

Six months ago, it is a deal that would have made sense. The Spaniard was struggling for regular football at West Ham and was a player the club seemingly could have moved on.
But in recent weeks, since West Ham tweaked with their formation, Obiang has become an increasingly important member of the first team at the London Stadium.

Now a sale would be a surprise from West Ham and leaving would be just as shocking from Obiang, who finally looks settled into his new environment.
Fiorentina may want Obiang, but it looks likely the player will not be heading back to Italy in January.
