The new West Ham United director of football Mario Husillos will have a pair of Spanish midfielders referenced, according to A Bola.
West Ham have lost playmaker Manuel Lanzini for the foreseeable future, prompting replacements to be sought.
And the Portuguese newspaper lists Porto’s Oliver Torres and Barcelona’s Denis Suarez as potential candidates.
Despite costing Porto £18 million a year ago, Torres struggled to nail down a regular starting place in is first season as a full-time Dragons player.
And he is also said to have interest from Real Betis, amid a termination clause of £44 million.
If true, West Ham’s interest in Suarez – who finds himself in a similar boat at Barcelona – should come as little surprise, considering he played briefly under the Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini at Manchester City.
However, neither player has previously been associated with Husillos, the former Malaga and Olympiacos sporting director.
Should West Ham make moves for Torres/Suarez this summer?
