Andy Irving ‘will be delighted’ as fresh £2.5m development emerges at West Ham
West Ham midfielder Andy Irving could be in line to benefit from the latest transfer news emerging from the London Stadium
The Scot is one of the more bizarre signings that the Hammers have made in recent years but is starting to feature more regularly.
Since the introduction of Graham Potter, the 24-year-old has made three appearances with one of those being a start against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
These minutes could be set to increase further if the Irons are to complete a transfer deal ahead of the summer window opening.
Guido Rodriguez could leave West Ham for £2.5m
The former Hearts midfielder has the capability to play as a box-to-box midfielder which is likely to suit the system under the former Brighton head coach.
With that being said, it is unlikely that Guido Rodriguez is going to fit in under the Englishman which could see a quick sale be utilised by the Irons.

The Spanish outfit are willing to pay a fee in the region of £2.5million to re-sign the midfielder who only moved to East London for free in the summer.
Transfer talks have been initiated by Manuel Pelligrini’s side but their finances could make negotiations over a potential deal difficult.
Regardless, it appears that the Argentina international is set to be on the move whether it is back to Betis or elsewhere.
Andy Irving to benefit from Guido Rodriguez sale at West Ham
With a midfielder seemingly on the chopping block at the London Stadium, it hands the perfect opportunity for another to step up and shine.
That could prove to be the perfect chance for Iving to show his quality and form a positive relationship with the likes of Tomas Soucek and Edson Alvarez.
Potter could benefit from the number of options in his midfield which would allow his side to operate in multiple different ways.
As long as the Hammers ace’s in the middle of the park allow the likes of Mohammed Kudus, Lucas Paqueta and Jarrod Bowen to perform to their best level, Potter will be happy and will see his side improve as a result.
