Manuel Pellegrini (5)

According to The Independent, West Ham are targeting Levante prodigy Victor Camarasa; whilst The Daily Star report that Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has emerged as a shock contender for the Chelsea job.

The 21-year-old midfielder is rated as one of La Liga’s most exciting prospects. He’s represented Spain twice at youth level and has claimed two goals and three assists this season for a Levante side separated from the bottom of the table by goal difference alone.

The Hammers are reportedly planning a summer of ambitious recruitment ahead of their move to the Olympic Stadium and Camarasa could be their first signing of the transfer window. Should Levante plummet out of the top flight, they could pick him up for as little as £3million.

Meanwhile, The Daily Star report that Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini is emerging as a ‘serious’ candidate for the Stamford Bridge hot seat.

Chelsea have reportedly agreed a deal in principle with Italy manager Antonio Conte but nothing has been finalised yet and the Chilean is seen as a plausible alternative, allegedly championed by sporting director Michael Emenalo.

Whilst the former Juventus manager comes highly-rated, Pellegrini offers three years of experience in the Premier League, winning the title in 2014, and is credited with creating a calming atmosphere at the Etihad.

He’ll certainly be available in the summer; the 62-year-old and the Citizens confirmed some time ago that he’ll be replaced by Pep Guardiola at the end of the season.
