West Ham have launched a bid for Joan Jordan as they continue to target La Liga players. According to Sky Sports News, West Ham have made a £13m bid for SD Eibar midfielder Jordan.
The Hammers signed Pablo Fornals from Villarreal last Friday. The Spain international became the club’s second-most-expensive player in history and signed a five-year deal.
And now Mario Husillos is ready to return to La Liga for his next targets. According to this report by Sky Sports, West Ham could sign up to four La Liga players this summer.
Joan Jordan: West Ham’s next signing?
West Ham brought in a new attacking midfielder. But the club still need another deep-lying central midfielder to compete with Declan Rice for the starting spots.
Jordan fits the bill in that respect. The 24-year-old currently plays for Eibar in La Liga as a conventional central midfielder. He offers a well-rounded game and is also strong going forward.
The Catalonia international struck four goals and provided four assists last season. He is highly-rated by Spanish viewers and West Ham could end up with a bargain if Eibar accept this offer.
Who else could join?
If Jordan joins Fornals at West Ham, this would complete half of the Hammers’ four-man La Liga wishlist. But who could be the other two players joining from the Spanish top-flight?
Celta Vigo striker Maxi Gomez has been strongly linked with a move to East London. The Irons wanted the 22-year-old in January (The Guardian).
And these rumours have resurfaced this summer. According to Sky Sports News, West Ham have had a bid of £29m accepted for the Uruguay international.
Guillermo Maripan could also join. The Deportivo Alaves centre-back, 25, has been linked with West Ham all summer. According to The Sun, West Ham could bid £15m for the Chile international.
Fornals, Jordan, Gomez and Maripan could become West Ham’s four new signings from La Liga this summer.
