Fiorentina, Villarreal chasing West Ham midfielder Pedro Obiang

Pedro Obiang is ready to leave West Ham.

The Sun says Fiorentina have launched a bid to land Obiang.

The Italians have moved swiftly for the Spaniard, who suffered a knee injury last season as the Hammers slipped into relegation trouble.

Villarreal have also shown interest in the £15million-rated player and Turkish side Besiktas are also expected to join the race for him.

Manuel Pellegrini will weigh up whether to cash in on the ex-Sampdoria star, 26, and use the cash to rebuild his squad.

The former Spain Under-21 international was a regular last season as David Moyes initially got the club out of danger.
