West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini should be over the moon if the club manage to sign reported target Munir El Haddadi from Barcelona.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Hammers are keen on the forward alongside the likes of Roma, Napoli, Sevilla and Real Betis.

It is understood that the 23-year-old is not set to agree a new contract at Camp Nou and could depart on a free transfer when his contract expires at the end of the season.

The report details that that the Spaniard’s next destination is still unknown, but it’s worth noting that news outlet Cope reports Sevilla have won the race for his signature with a pre-agreement for next season.

Barcelona are yet to reveal the next destination for Munir and West Ham should hold out some hope of signing him.

The versatile attacker can play anywhere across the frontline and is usually deployed in a central role.

He’s made 11 senior appearances for Barcelona so far this season and chipped in with two goals, with his technical ability and movement top-class.

Munir has also shown his goalscoring prowess while out on loan with La Liga clubs Alaves and Valencia in the last two seasons, scoring a combined total of 21 goals for them.

Pellegrini is hoping to build a team at the London Stadium that can force themselves into the European mix in the Premier League and Munir would be a terrific option in the final third.
