Hammers moving on Mexican international
The 29 year old – who can play at either left back or wide right – was loaned by his club to Sevilla in January and was watched by the Hammers new director of football Mario Husillos regularly in Spain.
Now he has been named as a target by an emerging influential Twitter source as a target for the club’s new man at the helm.
@whufcbulletin claims in a tweet: “Mario Husillos has reignited interest in Porto‘s Miguel Layun 29, West Ham made contact with his agents a month ago and it seems Husillos was impressed during the Mexican international’s short spell in La Liga with Sevilla where he had been on loan since January.
And he adds separately: “Sevilla had a clause included in their loan deal to sign Layun for a sum as low as €5 million from Porto.
In light of his performance in Mexico’s 1-0 World Cup win over holders Germany that would prove to be a steal.”
