Alvaro Arbeloa looks set to leave the Hammers after a very short spell at the club.
The Spanish full-back joined the east London club back in the summer but hasn’t managed to make an impact.
The 33-year-old has racked up just 173 Premier League minutes so far this season and reports from Spain believe he could leave the UK as early as January.
El Mundo Deportivo claim Arbeloa would prefer to move back to his homeland rather than head to America or the Middle East. He, apparently, has interest from all three places.
Arbeloa has been around the block in terms of experience and thus shouldn’t struggle to find a new club.
Back in September, West Ham manager Slaven Bilic described Arbeloa as “the perfect option” to bolster his squad.
His versatility was clearly a selling point but things haven’t quite played out that way, with other players invariably filling any voids that have appeared.
It’s unsure, should he leave in January, whether the Hammers will eye a replacement or whether Bilic believes he has enough in those areas to make do until next summer.
