The West Ham United midfielder is said to have an increasing number of admirers, including Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.
Pedro Obiang celebrates his first West Ham goal
Liverpool are one of an increasing number of admirers of West Ham United midfielder Pedro Obiang, according to the Sun.
Obiang has been in fine form for the Hammers of late and scored his first goal for the club in this month’s 3-1 win at Southampton.
And Liverpool are said to be tracking the Spaniard as they look to mount a sustained challenge for next season’s Premier League title, with the return of Champions League football also on the cards.
The Reds are likely to lose Lucas Leiva when the Brazilian’s contract expires this summer, while another midfielder, Emre Can, has been linked with a move to Juventus.

According to the Sun, Obiang is unlikely to come cheap, however, with an £18 million fee mooted for the 24-year-old, who is said to be settled at West Ham.
Obiang arrived in East London 18 months ago from Sampdoria and has another two seasons left on his contract after this one – although it is claimed West Ham have discussed the idea of opening talks soon regarding a renewal.
The former Spain Under-21 international has played 61 times for the Hammers to date.
