West Ham reject Fiorentina bid for Obiang

West Ham United have rejected an offer from Fiorentina for defender Pedro Obiang, according to the Mirror.

The Serie A side were looking to give the twenty-six-year old an opportunity to return to Italy, where he played for five years ahead of his move to the Hammers in the summer of 2015.

However, the London side have no intention of parting company with the former Sampdoria man, who has played eighteen times across all competitions so far this season.

Obiang recently passed one hundred appearances for West Ham while he has scored three goals during that time – two of which came last term.

Having represented Spain at youth levels he made his senior debut for Equatorial Guinea in a 1-0 defeat to Senegal last November.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side, who are just a point off seventh placed Watford in the Premier League are priced at 7/5 to win at Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.
