According to The Sun, West Ham United are considering selling Pedro Obiang this summer.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side are reportedly set to receive a £15 million offer for the midfielder, which is being considered by the Chilean boss.

For Pellegrini to even be pondering the offer should be a concern to West Ham fans, as letting Obiang go would be an error.

Obiang was West Ham’s only effective midfield shield last season, with his performances catching the eye.

The Spaniard was arguably West Ham’s finest option in central midfield, and letting him go would be too risky.

Pellegrini has already promised to play an attacking style at West Ham, but he is going to need to offer his defence some protection.

Pedro Obiang of West Ham United arrives prior to the Premier League match between Watford and West Ham United at Vicarage Road on November 19, 2017 in Watford, England.

Obiang could be crucial to helping West Ham in that sense, and he is the only midfielder in their squad who can be totally relied upon currently.

West Ham simply must do everything they can to keep hold of Obiang this summer, and Pellegrini should instantly reject any offers, rather than consider accepting them.
