Guti in West Ham talks

Former Real Madrid and Spain midfielder Guti has revealed he is negotiations to sign for West Ham this off-season.

The 35-year old, who left Madrid after almost 25 years of service for the Santiago Bernabeu side and over 500 appearances for Real, has been out of action since he was released on a free contract by Turkish team Besiktas in November.

The technically gifted midfielder has since rejected a number of offers to return to the game, but has revealed to Goal.com that he is close to agreeing a deal with newly promoted West Ham to play in the Premier League next season.

“Yes West Ham are interested but nothing is decided yet. We are negotiating,” Guti said.

The midfielder played 14 times for Spain, having turned out on 542 occasions for Madrid and made 40 appearances for Besiktas.
