West Ham are interested in signing Atlanta United midfielder Miguel Almirón, a move which would enable the Major League Soccer side to land Gonzalo Martinez in return, according to reports.
Martinez, 25, has been lined up by Atlanta to fill the void expected to be left by Almiron after attracting interest from across Europe, however, a move for the River Plate star has been left in limbo due to the American club's finances.
TyC Sports report that the Hammers could prove to be decisive in creating a domino effect by pursuing Almirón for a fee in the region of €15m, as the transfer fee would then be enough to trigger Martinez's exit from the Argentine outfit.
