West Ham are in need of forward options and they have been offered the chance to sign one before tonight’s transfer deadline.
The Daily Mail report that La Liga giants Atletico Madrid have offered West Ham the chance to sign versatile attacker Nico Gaitan as they look to offload the player.
Tottenham have also been offered the winger this week but for now, and Watford are considering a loan move for the Argentina international.
Gaitan scored 41 goals and provided 87 assists during a six-year career with Benfica prior to joining Atletico Madrid for £22.5m last summer.
The 29-year-old was a bit-part player for Atletico last season, scoring four goals in 36 appearances across all competitions but he started just 11 times in La Liga.
Atletico want to fund a move for Diego Costa before the transfer window closes tonight and Gaitan is a player they want to get off their books. West Ham, Tottenham and Watford have all been offered the forward, but a Premier League move is far from certain.
