West Ham United Look to Secure Signature of Real Betis' Paraguayan Starlet

With the Premier League transfer window closing in one week, West Ham United are extremely interested in signing Paraguayan international striker Antonio Sanabria.

Spanish daily sport newspaper Marca has learned that the Irons are pursuing a deal for the current Real Betis forward. Scoring eight goals in 17 La Liga appearances before injury, the 22-year-old has an eye for goal.

With Los Verdiblancos only holding 50% of the rights to their striker - a joint ownership deal with Roma was struck in the 2016 transfer - Betis will hope to receive a hefty fee for the Paraguayan forward.
