Title winners eyeing shock swoop for Pellegrini’s West Ham signing

|

West Ham have excelled under the guidance of Manuel Pellegrini this season but there is still work to be done in east London.

The Hammers have seen a number of their summer recruits excel in the first half of the campaign, with Felipe Anderson, Issa Diop and Lukasz Fabianski quickly settling into life at the London Stadium, but that cannot be said for everyone.

Spanish forward Lucas Perez has struggled to secure regular football since moving across London from Arsenal andĀ The MailĀ states that LaLiga champions Barcelona are eyeing a surprise move to bring the former Deportivo man back to Spain.

Ernesto Valverde’s side are looking for a back-up option to Luis Suarez and Perez, who has scored twice in 10 Premier League appearances this season, is not the only surprise name to be considered by the Catalan giants.

Chelsea duo Olivier Giroud and Alvaro Morata, former Middlesbrough striker Christian Stuani and Tottenham’s Fernando Llorente are also candidates.
