West Ham United are reportedly keen on signing 21-year-old Almeria right-back Marc Pubill, a target for Newcastle United.
According to a report from Italian outlet AS Roma Live, West Ham United will compete with Newcastle United for 21-year-old Spanish defender Marc Pubill, who is currently at the Olympics. It will be interesting to see if West Ham can win the race for his signature.
Pubill has done quite well for Almeria, and he could be an interesting option for West Ham in the upcoming campaign. West Ham need more depth in the wide areas, and Pubill could be the ideal replacement for Vladimir Coufal. The Czechia international is in the twilight stages of his career, and he will need to be replaced adequately.
The 21-year-old Spanish defender would be a long-term acquisition for the Hammers, and the opportunity to move to the Premier League will be quite exciting for Pubill as well. The Spaniard would get to test himself in English football, and he would get to play in a competitive team under a top class coach like Julen Lopetegui.
West Ham certainly have the finances to get the deal done, and it remains to be seen whether they can secure and agreement with Almeria. The East Londoners have been competing in European football in the last two seasons, and they will be an attractive destination for the young defender. However, they have also shown interest in other right-backs, including Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Newcastle United want Marc Pubill
Newcastle United are keen on the player as well. The Magpies are looking to add more quality and depth to their squad, and the 21-year-old would be a long-term investment. The Tyneside outfit are one of the richest clubs in the world, and they have the finances to sign the player as well.
They are looking to put together a formidable squad capable of securing Champions League qualification and pushing for trophies consistently. The talented young defender would be a superb acquisition for Newcastle United.
Kieran Trippier is on the decline, and Newcastle United need to plan for life after him. Signing a talented young right-back would be a wise decision. Both clubs will be attractive opportunities for the young defender, and it remains to be seen where he ends up. Agreeing a deal with Almeria should not be difficult for the two teams, and it remains to be seen whether they can convince the player with their project.
