West Ham should make a move for the highly exciting the Spanish full back.
West Ham are reportedly showing an interest in Sporting defender Cristiano Piccini.
The Hammers have signed Pablo Zabaleta from Manchester City on a free transfer this summer, but Slaven Bilic could still be looking to bolster that department either in January or next summer.
West Ham should make an ambitious move for Real Sociedad’s outstanding young talent and one of Spain’s brightest prospects – Alvaro Odriozola.
The second half of last season saw the emergence of a young full-back from the club’s second string, and since then it’s been a dream journey for him.
From playing in Segunda B third tier only 12 months ago, the defender is now part of the Spain squad that has qualified for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
He gained his first international cap for Spain earlier this week in a 3–0 win over Albania in a qualification match, and he caught the attention straightaway.
A pacey and quick thinking full back, he is a joy to watch because of his excellent technical ability, and his attacking style.
He made six crosses during the game, and completed 33 of his 36 passes, most of which were forward passes. He made five key passes during the game, and provided an assist for Thiago.
He is one of Spain’s brightest young talents, and before any heavyweight European giants swoop in, West Ham should make a tempting offer to Real Sociedad and snap him up.
