Spaniard set for trial at Upton Park

West Ham have offered former Real Madrid midfielder Guti a pre-season trial according to The Sun.

The Spanish midfielder spent the bulk of his career at the Santiago Bernabeu, before moving to Turkish side Besiktas; he is currently available on a free transfer.

Sam Allardyce is set to bring Guti on the Upton Park side’s pre-season tour of Austria, and if the 35-year-old can prove his fitness and ability will be offered a two-year deal with the newly-promoted side.

Agent Barry O’Connor looks after the playmaker’s affairs in England, and has revealed that the decision will be in the Hammers’ hands.

“West Ham will make a final decision before the next season starts. I cannot discuss what terms could be offered,” he stated.

Guti won 15 trophies in his time with Real Madrid, including three Champions League crowns.
