West Ham United could land Barcelona forward Munir El Haddadi.
According to Mundo Deportivo, West Ham United are keen on signing Barcelona forward Munir El Haddadi during next month’s transfer window.
The Hammers’ four-game winning run ended on Saturday afternoon with a 2-0 home defeat to Watford, showing that Manuel Pellegrini’s men still have some work to do.
Another forward may yet be on West Ham’s radar even if Marko Arnautovic is set to return, and new speculation in Spain suggests a target has been identified.
Mundo Deportivo report that West Ham want Barcelona’s Munir, but face competition from seven other clubs; Napoli, Roma, Schalke, Marseille, Alaves, Celta Vigo and Real Betis.
Munir, 23, joined Barca from Atletico Madrid in 2011, and has scored 12 goals in 56 games for the Catalan giants, but has made just one league start this season.
His contract expires at the end of the season, and with Barcelona doubting that he will sign a new deal, it’s like that he will be sold in order to ensure Barca get some money for him whilst they still can.
Munir showed his quality with a 14-goal campaign for Alaves last season, and his skill, movement and versatility to play anywhere along the front line may be hugely appealing to West Ham next month.
