# West Ham United chasing Spanish Under-21 international

[![Pedro-Obiang-Sampdoria_2835036](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Pedro-Obiang-Sampdoria_2835036-500x375.jpeg)](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Pedro-Obiang-Sampdoria_2835036.jpeg)The West Ham United fans in the Football Transfer Tavern are buzzing for their opening day clash with Tottenham but are still hoping their club bring in more players.\
\
And according to [talkSPORT](https://talksport.com/football/west-ham-hopeful-over-deal-sampdoria-star-140811106963#uHvql0RgWuAr6AUe.99), Sam Allardyce is still hopeful of bringing Sampdoria midfielder Pedro Obiang to Upton Park even though the Italians are refusing to lower their asking price.\
\
Sampdoria want £4.7 million for the Spanish Under-21 international and are unlikely to budge with many European clubs keeping tabs.

One Hammers fan has just quipped: “If you are charging us fans to watch the game against Spurs £70 this Saturday than surely you can afford to stump up a bit more cash,” and he has a point.\
\
Allardyce is still working hard to bring players to Upton Park, especially with Senegalese midfielder Mohamed Diame linked with a move across London to Queens Park Rangers.\
\
Obiang has been the standout performer for the Genoa-based side in recent times but the Hammers are hoping that a deal for the former Atletico Madrid trainee can be completed before the end of August.
