West Ham midfielder Pedro Obiang is ready to sign for Sassuolo.

Obiang is in Italy and is due to undergo a medical on Wednesday.

“I return to Serie A as a more mature player after my time in the Premier League," the Equatorial Guinea international told Sky Sport Italia as he landed this evening.

“The Sassuolo opportunity came about before the transfer window opened, with a call from (Coach Roberto) De Zerbi."

Obiang is joining Sassuolo for a fee of €8.9m.
