West Ham United are allegedly keen to sign Valencia midfielder Hugo Guillamon in the January transfer window.

That’s according to a report from 90min who claim that the Hammers are keeping tabs on the talented 22-year-old Valencia ace.

West Ham boss David Moyes bolstered his central midfield ranks at the London Stadium in the summer by signing Flynn Downes from Swansea.

It seems as though the Scot is intent on adding even more quality to his engine room options though.

Tomas Soucek has been in really poor form over the past year or so, whilst doubts remain as to whether Conor Coventry is actually good enough to be playing Premier League football.

And Moyes allegedly has a very specific plan in mind to considerably strengthen his central midfield ranks…

West Ham eyeing Hugo Guillamon swoop

90min claims that the Hammers are keeping a very close eye on the 22-year-old Valencia star ahead of the January transfer window.

Mundo Deportivo claim that Guillamon’s current contract with Los Che has a €50million (£43million) release clause included.

Well-renowned football scouting website Breaking the Lines describe the Spain international as an ‘unbelievable’ player.

What an incredible signing Hugo Guillamon would be for West Ham.

The 22-year-old is a defensive midfielder by trade, but he can also operate at centre-back if need be.

Like most Spanish players, he is very technically gifted and is incredibly comfortable in possession.

£43 million sounds like a lot of money, especially for someone who is totally unproven in the Premier League. However, I think the Valencia star would be totally worth it.

And that is the kind of money that the Hammers owners need to be spending, if they are in fact serious about taking us forward as a club.

Hugo Guillamon would be a sensational addition for West Ham. It remains to be seen whether Moyes is able to bring him to the London Stadium in January though.
