West Ham have made a £1.8m bid for Sporting Gijon midfielder Oscar Trejo, according to sources in Spain.

The East London club are keen to add to their squad ahead of the new season and have offered a cash plus add-ons deal for the 25-year-old Argentinean.

Sam Allardyce faces stiff competition to secure this transfer for the Hammers from elsewhere though, with Toulouse also bidding and Olympiakos maintaining a strong interest.

Sporting are holding out for at least £2.5m overall but Trejo does favour a move to England.

West Ham have been in discussions with Trejo's agent for several days and are keen to finalise the deal by the end of the week.

Trejo - a versatile attacking midfielder who can operate from both the right and left as well as up front - is desperate for a way out of Sporting and is owed wages by the club dating back several months.
