Olympiacos submit bid for Edson Alvarez as potential West Ham exit details revealed

Olympiacos are looking to win the race for West Ham United midfielder Edson Alvarez.

The Greek side, owned by Nottingham Forest chief Evangelos Marinakis, have made their move for the Mexico international.

With other teams keeping an eye on the 28-year-old's situation at the Hammers, it will be interesting to see how the saga unfolds.

Alvarez seems destined for a move away from London Stadium, and Olympiacos have presented themselves as the most concrete option right now.

The defensive-midfielder doesn't seem to be in Nuno Espirito Santo's plan after returning from his loan spell at Fenerbahce.

It now remains to be seen whether the East London club will find Olympiacos' offer reasonable enough to sanction the Mexican player's exit.

What Olympiacos have proposed for Edson Alvarez at West Ham

Olympiacos' interest in Alvarez this summer has been well-known and they've now taken steps to sign him from the Hammers.

Ajax have been linked with a move for the Mexico international, while Real Sociedad also made an approach recently to sign him.

According to Sky Sports journalist Anthony Joseph on 25 August, Olympiacos have now tabled a bid to sign Alvarez on loan from the Irons.

While La Real made initial contact for the midfielder, they haven't followed that up with an offer.

Why Nuno Espirito Santo faces midfield crisis at London Stadium

West Ham have endured a poor start to the season, failing to take control of games in the Championship.

Arne Engels has been signed at the London Stadium, but the Belgian ace needs someone alongside him capable of providing stability in midfield.

Tomas Soucek's experience could come in handy this season, but the Czechia international is currently out injured.

Soungoutou Magassa and Mohamadou Kante could leave the Hammers in the final days of the transfer window.

Nuno gave Lewis Orford an opportunity against Charlton Athletic, but his substitution at the break didn't make much difference.

James Ward-Prowse is someone the Portuguese manager doesn't seem to trust.

The East London club clearly lack quality and depth in the engine room, which is only made worse by Alvarez and others looking for a way out.
