West Ham United, under new manager Julen Lopetegui, are reportedly leading the chase for free agent left-back Juan Miranda. The Spaniard’s contract with Real Betis expires at the end of the month, sparking a transfer scramble.

Following David Moyes’ departure, Lopetegui, returning to the Premier League after a short stint at Wolverhampton Wanderers, is tasked with revamping the West Ham squad. Solidifying the left-back position is a priority.

Miranda, 24, offers an attractive proposition for the Hammers. Not only is he available on a free transfer, but he also boasts experience in La Liga and European competitions. While La Liga giants Atletico Madrid have shown interest, Miranda seems drawn to the Premier League.
