Sport Witness West Ham in tussle to sign versatile player ‚Äì Lopetegui could be driving Hammers interest By Naveen Ullal West Ham United are one of the clubs in the picture to sign Sergi Roberto this summer, according to multiple claims from Spain. The 32-year-old has been without a club since his deal at Barcelona expired on June 30th. Earlier claims stated the La Liga side want to retain him, but he confirmed on Sunday that his time at the Camp Nou has come to an end. Monday‚Äôs edition of Sport takes a look at where he could end up next season and West Ham are mentioned as one of the candidates. Sevilla manager Garc??a Pimienta knows Roberto from his time with Barca‚Äôs youth team, but the Andalusian club currently don‚Äôt have the salary margin to register him. The Spaniard has a chance to move abroad, where West Ham are an option from England. The report says this is mainly because of Julen Lopetegui, who managed Roberto when he was in charge of the national team. As well as the Hammers, Fiorentina, AS Roma, Como and Ajax are among the options the fullback, who can also operate as a midfielder, can pick from in this window. El Desmarque state Sevilla were the first club to ask about the versatile player. They are joined by West Ham, Aston Villa and Ajax, with the Dutch club said to be the favourites to secure his services. In short, West Ham have to tussle with other clubs to sign Roberto on a free transfer."
