A potential transfer to Sevilla for Edson Álvarez did not proceed because the LaLiga club's plans changed after they failed to complete certain anticipated player sales. This was one of several unsuccessful proposed moves away from West Ham for the 28-year-old Mexico international, who seeks to avoid playing in the Championship. According to recent reports, West Ham valued the player at £20m-£22m, having previously asked Olympiakos for €14m and received a €7.5m offer from Real Sociedad for 50% of the player's rights.
