West Ham are weighing up move for Tottenham Hotspur target Fabian Ruiz.
David Moyes is an admirer of the player, and the former Manchester United boss is due to fly out to watch him in action against Barcelona on Sunday.
Signing a midfielder is one of Moyes’ top priorities during the January transfer window. The Hammers have been linked with Everton midfielder Tom Davies, but he is ready to switch his attention to Ruiz.
The 21-year-old has come through the ranks at Real Betis, and has impressed this term, scoring two goals and creating two assists in 15 La Liga games this season.
The report claims that West Ham are ready to move for the player, who has a 14 million release clause in his contract, before the window closes.
Ruiz could go on to become a top player in the future, but Moyes prefers to see his transfer target in person before making a decision about him.
