Mariano Diaz has emerged as a surprise transfer target for West Ham, according to the Daily Mail.
The 27-year-old was also on West Brom’s radar but he would prefer joining David Moyes’ team as their formation suits his style.
Fellow Real Madrid outcast Luka Jovic is also linked with West Ham but Mariano appears to be more affordable, valued at £20m compared to Jovic’s £27m.
Mariano has scored once in 7 games for Los Blancos this season, capping just 16 minutes across the last 2 games.
