The Spaniard returns to his homeland after a single season with West Ham United, during which he scored six goals in 19 appearances.

The 30-year old who joined the Hammers from Arsenal for £4m and was reported to earn £75,000 per week has joined Alaves on a three-year contract.

He follows Edimilson Fernandes out the exit door at West Ham following his £8m transfer to German side Mainz earlier in the day.

Andy Carroll, Samir Nasri, Toni Martinez and Adrian have been released by West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini continues a major shake-up of his squad.
