Leganes midfielder Gabriel Pires is being tracked by West Ham.

AS says sources close to West Ham suggest that the Hammers are considering two possible options concerning the recruitment of the Brazilian.

The first option would be to sign him on a permanent deal for €5.5m during the January transfer window. The second would involve paying €1.9m to take him on loan until the end of the season, with an option to secure his services permanently for €9m in the summer.

Leganes deny having received any proposals and say that the player is not for sale, unless an interested club activates the 24-year-old's €20m buyout clause.
