David Moyes is yet to add to his West Ham squad this month.
The 23-year-old has shone for the La Liga side this season, becoming a mainstay of Juan Carlos Unzue’s side by making 18 top-flight appearances as well as featuring in four cup games.
It is believed that West Ham were interested in the 18-time Spain Under-21 international in the summer but had a bid rejected by Celta, and are now keen to reignite said interest with just over a fortnight remaining in the window.
However, they will find the going tough as they are to be rivalled by Spanish giants Atletico Madrid and Italian heavyweights Roma, with the asking price standing at £14million.
Left-back is not a necessity at the London Stadium right now, with Aaron Cresswell and Arthur Masuaku in competition for the slot on the left side of defence. However, the form of England international Cresswell is well below par.
Pocket-sized defender Jonny boasts huge speed and has a willingness to get forward and deliver a cross which could bring the best out of Andy Carroll, but in a side known for their physicality, his height of 5ft 6in could be considered a weakness.
