Hammers linked with Mexican left back

West Ham have been linked with the Mexican left back Miguel Layún. The 29-year-old currently plays for Spanish club Sevilla, on loan from Portuguese club Porto.  Layun is good friends with Javier Hernandez and whether his fellow Mexican stays or goes could also be a factor.

The pair are set to both go to the World cup in Russia this summer.  The signing of Layun could mean the end of Aaron Cresswell who has not been the same player this season.  He holds the record for more assists in the Premier League by a defender (seven) but club sources say they would consider offers for Cresswell this summer.

Last month Everton were linked with a £25million summer raid for West Ham and England left-back. The report said that  Sam Allardyce – who signed Cresswell for the Hammers four years ago from Ipswich remains a big fan and wants him to compete with Leighton Baines.
