West Ham are launching a bid for Real Betis striker Antonio Sanabria.

Estadio Deportivo says the Hammers are willing to offer €22.5m for Sanabria.

West Ham are willing to pay big to sign Sanabria, knowing the striker's former club AS Roma are due 50 per cent of any sell-on fee.

For his part, the Paraguay international is happy to see the deal done and move to London this week.

Hammers chief Mario Husillos knows all about Sanabria, having watched him during his time in charge of Malaga.
