According to Sky Sports, West Ham United have launched a £13million bid to sign Eibar midfielder Joan Jordan.

Jordan, 24, may have been unwanted at Espanyol, but has really found a home for himself at Eibar, becoming one of the most underrated midfielders in Spain.

He’s now attracting interest, and he has been linked with West Ham for more than a week now, and fans will have thought that a move was off after signing Villarreal playmaker Pablo Fornals.

However, it’s now believed that West Ham have still launched a £13million offer for Jordan, with Manuel Pellegrini keen to make him one of four La Liga signings.

Roberto and Fornals have already arrived, whilst Celta Vigo striker Maxi Gomez is wanted too, with Pellegrini and Husillos looking to Spain for reinforcements.

Jordan has great technical ability, and can play either as a defensive midfielder or central midfielder, bringing quality on the ball, from set pieces and even from long-range.

Jordan figures to replace Pedro Obiang as competition for Mark Noble and Declan Rice, and at just £13million, he could be an absolute bargain for the Hammers.
