# West Ham keeping tabs of free agent Jose Enrique

According to [IB Times](https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/free-agent-jose-enrique-tracked-by-west-ham-crystal-palace-west-brom-1572810), West Ham are tracking ex-Liverpool defender Jose Enrique, along with a few other Premier League sides.

The report says that West Ham, West Brom and Crystal Palace are weighing up offers for the free agent, as they all look to strengthen their left-back options.

Enrique is a free agent having left Liverpool earlier this summer. The Reds refused to offer him a new deal.

West Ham are looking to sign a left-back following Aaron Creswell’s injury. The English left-back has been ruled out for four months, leaving a massive gap in his wake.

West Brom are thought to be the most interested party, with Tony Pulis having to use Jonny Evans at left-back on many occasions last season. He is looking for a natural left-back to bolster his squad.

Palace, however, are looking for a player to compete with Pape Soure in order to improve the depth of Alan Pardew’s side.

West Ham will be hoping that the lure of European football can persuade the Spaniard to join.
