West Ham are among the teams sounding out a move for Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez, according to reports in Spain.
Spanish media outlet Sport reports that West Ham, Everton and Watford have all enquired about the midfield outcast, who is rated at a bargain €10m (around £9m).
AC Milan also want Suarez but are chasing a loan deal, while Barcelona are holding out for a permanent move.
Who is Denis Suarez?
Suarez is a central midfielder, who is known as a playmaker for his attacking talents.
The former Manchester City youngster has spent most of his senior career in Spain, playing for Sevilla, Villarreal and Barcelona.
The 25-year-old has struggled for game time this season, though, playing just four games.
All four have been from the bench with just 17 La Liga minutes and 24 Champions League minutes under his belt.
In total, the Spain international has won one cap for his country and played 69 times for Barcelona.
But he could be set to quit the Nou Camp to resurrect his career in a new environment.
What could he add for West Ham?
Suarez is just the midfield playmaker that West Ham are lacking, considering Jack Wilshere, Manuel Lanzini and Andriy Yarmolenko are on the long-term absentee list.
The Galician midfielder offers quality on the ball and the ability to pick passes with ease.
With 26 career goals in just over 200 games, Suarez has also demonstrated his ability to score goals.
With Manuel Pellegrini chasing a creative midfielder to fill Lanzini’s void, Suarez fits the bill perfectly.
