West Ham United have reportedly “explored” the possibility of signing Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos, according to reports in Spain.

The 22-year-old midfielder, who joined Los Blancos from Real Betis in 2017, signed a six-year contract at the Bernabeu.

The playmaker racked up more than 50 appearances for Madrid in all competitions, including 34 during the current campaign.

The Spaniard has struggled for action since Zinedine Zidane returned for his 2nd coaching spell, though, and it is thought that the youngster could be moved on this summer.

The Hammers have contacted Madrid to register their interest in Ceballos, but the Premier League outfit could face a tough task to convince him to move to East London.

Ceballos has been capped six times by the Spain national team.
