# West Ham eye swoop for Layun

West Ham are looking at signing Miguel Layun from Porto this summer, according to A Bola, as translated by [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/west-ham-willing-sign-former-watford-left-back-shouldnt-cost-much/).

The left-back is currently on loan at Spanish side Sevilla and is impressing as he tries to secure a move away from Portugal.

The Hammers are looking to bolster their squad to avoid another relegation battle next season, and Layun’s impressive performances for Sevilla could make him a shrewd addition.

He has played 17 times for the La Liga side since joining in January, scoring in Wednesday’s 3-2 victory over Real Madrid.

Sevilla hold all the cards with regards to his future as they have the option to buy him in the summer for a deal estimated to be around €5 million.

Should they choose not to take it up, David Moyes’ side will be waiting in the wings to sign the ex-Watford player if A Bola are to be believed.

Layun featured three times in the Premier League for the Hornets, scoring a goal in their first game before leaving to join Porto.
