Spanish Stars Inbound?

29-year-old midfielder Celades, looks set to leave Madrid and spending five years in Spanish capital.

Eurosport’s La Liga pages are reporting a source close Celades as saying “Albert is keen to play in England. He has been made offers by several clubs in Europe - but West Ham is a club that interests him.”

Left-back Sergi Barjuán, now 33, was poised to end his career in Spain but may yet be tempted by a final year in the Premiership.
