The Guardian have reported that West Ham United have touched base with Wolfsburg over signing Ignacio Camacho.

Cheikhou Kouyate’s move to Crystal Palace means that West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini might be light on defensive midfield options.

Pedro Obiang is also heavily linked with a move away from East London and the Irons are in the market for at least one replacement.

According to The Guardian, that man could be Camacho as the English publication claims that the Hammers have touched base with the Bundesliga side over signing him.

The report adds that the 28-year-old – who played under Pellegrini at Malaga – would be willing to reunite with his former manager, and that West Ham would prefer a season-long loan.

However, the German outfit are thought to want a permanent sale for the midfielder, who cost them £9 million in 2017.

United have already had an exceptional transfer window, breaking their all-time record fee twice, and the addition of Camacho would certainly strengthen things significantly.
