West Ham would significantly improve their midfield as well as their chances of achieving Europa League football next season with the signing of Sevilla ace Vicente Iborra.
Sky Sports reporter Rob Dorsett revealed on his personal Twitter account that Premier League rivals Leicester are in talks with the side they faced in the Champions League Round of 16 over a move for the Sevilla skipper.
It is reported that a £12.5million fee may be enough to sign the holding midfield star, who still has three years remaining on his contract with the La Liga giants.
Understand #lcfc talking to #sevilla about their capt Vicente Iborra. Midfielder impressed in Champs Lg, bid of around £12.5m may be enough.

Slaven Bilic must remould his side this summer in order to boost the east London outfit’s chances of replicating their 2015-16 successes and putting the nightmare that was last season behind them.
This Is Futbol considers three reasons in which beating Leicester to Iborra’s signature will be key in helping the Hammers reignite the form they know they are capable of next season, with Bilic’s job on the line.
