As soon as West Ham United appointed Manuel Pellegrini as their new manager, the transfer rumours started and they’ve been gathering pace since.

Pellegrini could raid his former club Manchester City to strengthen the Hammers’ squad in the summer transfer window. Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo claims the English club have identified City attacking midfielder Brahim Díaz as a transfer target.

The 18-year-old made five substitute appearances under Pep Guardiola in their title winning campaign, while also had three more substitute appearances in the Champions League last season.

West Ham believe they can offer him more playing time if he decides to join them this summer.

Mundo Deportivo doesn’t provide more information on if West Ham have approached Diaz’s entourage. There’s also no details on whether the two clubs have been in talks for the teenager.

It’s straight and to the point: Mundo Deportivo claim Brahim Diaz is a ‘transfer target’ for West Ham.
