Atletico Madrid outcast Vitolo has been offered to West Ham United.

The Hammers were linked with a move to sign the 31-year-old forward in the winter transfer window, but opted instead to bring in Jesse Lingard on loan from Manchester United.

The Sun says that due to Lingard's surprising resurgence in form, United have doubled his asking price to £40million.

And should the Hammers be priced out of a move for the England international, they could reignite their interest in Vitolo, according to Fichajes.

The news outlet states that Atletico have offered David Moyes' side the chance to sign the Spanish star in the summer.

It has been claimed that the player could be available for just £8.5m having fallen dramatically down the pecking order under Diego Simeone.
