They want the Spaniard, 25, until the end of the season with a view to buy as they attempt to close the gap on leaders Napoli.

David Moyes wants to freshen up his own midfield and is looking to add players to his squad rather than lose numbers.

But a deal could be helped with Joao Mario coming the other way in an initial loan with option to buy for £35million.

The 25-year-old would be a first-choice midfielder for Moyes and he could consider Obiang’s future.

Obiang is in his third season with the Hammers and has displays earned a contract extension last summer, committing him to the club until 2022.

But that has not stopped interest in the ex-Sampdoria midfielder with AC Milan also tracking him, along with Premier League rivals Everton and Spanish side Sevilla last season.
