# Atalanta reportedly make loan swoop for Pedro Obiang

West Ham midfielder Pedro Obiang is reportedly a loan target for Serie A club Atalanta.

The Spaniard is looking likely to depart the London Stadium this summer and according to claims from Italian news outlet [Corriere Della Sera](https://bergamo.corriere.it/notizie/sport/18_luglio_17/atalanta-pasalic-adesso-gomez-caso-resta-aperto-d518c2a8-898d-11e8-8bbc-b107b233a106.shtml?refresh_ce-cp), Atalanta have submitted a loan offer for the player.

Obiang is deemed surplus to requirements by Manuel Pellegrini, according to reports, and it a whole host of Serie A outfits have been touted as potential destinations for the ex-Sampdoria star.

West Ham are well-stocked with options in the middle of the park following the arrival of Jack Wilshere and Obiang looks set to return to Italy, having spent five successful years there prior to his move to the Premier League in 2015.

The report from Corriere Della Sera indicates that Atalanta have lodged a bid worth €1 million to take Obiang on a season-long loan, and are also negotiating a clause which will allow them to sign him permanently for a fee of €9m.
