This summer has been a very busy one for West Ham United and new manager Manuel Pellegrini.
The Chilean coach, who replaced David Moyes at the end of last season, has brought in eight new faces ahead of Thursday’s transfer deadline.
The defence, midfield and attacking areas have been strengthened, but it appeared for a while that the club were going to lose a first-team player.
Last month, Sky Sports reported that Pedro Obiang was in talks to return to Sampdoria, where he spent seven years before joining the Hammers in 2015.
Amid the speculation, fans wondered who the club would sign as a replacement, but it seems that they can stop deliberating.
According to reliable club insider ExWHUemployee, the 26-year-old is going nowhere and will be part of the team for Pellegrini’s debut campaign.
The East London outfit have spent close to £100m on new arrivals, but it seems that this update has got some fans just as excited.
