West Ham United may well have a great chance to sign Real Madrid star Brahim Diaz in the January transfer window.
According to TEAMtalk, West Ham are keen to sign Brahim Diaz from Real Madrid in January. And Spanish publication Sport claim that Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti is willing to let him go for just €20 million (£17 million).

Hammers boss David Moyes has an exceptionally talented squad of players at his disposal at the London Stadium, but the addition of someone like Brahim Diaz would be the icing on the cake.
For £17 million, West Ham really can’t go wrong – the 24-year-old Real Madrid star is an elite player, there is no doubt about that.
And it seems as though the diminutive attacker genuinely could swap Madrid for East London this winter…

TEAMtalk claim that the Hammers are keen on the 24-year-old, but Aston Villa want to sign him as well, so we won’t have things all our own way in the race for his signature.
What I will say is that West Ham should be pushing the boat out to bring Diaz to the club – he is a generational talent and would flourish alongside the likes of Lucas Paqueta, Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen.
He can play on either wing or in the number 10 position, and possesses truly stunning technical ability.
Diaz is just as strong with his left foot as he is with his right, and is very similar to former Arsenal star Santi Cazorla.
The Spaniard has already won La Liga title with Real Madrid and the Premier League title with Manchester City in the 2017/18 season when he was at the Etihad.
West Ham signing Brahim Diaz for just £17 million should be an absolute no-brainer for David Moyes as far as I’m concerned.
The Real Madrid star would take us to another level entirely inside the final third with his unbelievable quality on the ball.
I will caveat all of that with one thing though. If Moyes does sign Diaz, the Scot will need to play Bowen as a central striker in order to free up a space for the Spaniard. The Real Madrid star and Kudus could then operate on either wing with Lucas Paqueta moving back into midfield. Wow…how good would that be!?
