Victor for West Ham

Sky Sports are today reporting that Deportivo La Coruna midfielder Victor could be signing for West Ham United.

The 30-year-old is now a free agent as his contract with Deportivo has expired. West Ham appear to be in pole position to bring the Spaniard to England, with the player keen to play in Europe next season. However interest is also being shown by Bolton.

Victor's agent, and father, Jose Sanchez confirmed the interest from the two clubs but revealed a sticking point may be his reluctance to undergo a trial with either side.

"These clubs are interested in the boy and have asked for a week-long trial before making a final decision.This is a problem because Victor is in perfect condition and a trial now would be a strange situation.

Victor has not yet responded but is hoping for a solution in the next few days. The option of The Premiership has always been enormously attractive for the player and especially the option of West Ham as they are in the Uefa Cup."
