MUNIR EL HADDADI is being chased by a trio of Premier League clubs, according to reports in Spain.
The Barcelona forward is wanted by West Ham, Southampton and Crystal Palace, with the Hammers said to be leading the race for the 21-year-old.
Spanish newspaper report that the Premier League rivals want the forward who spent last season on loan at Valencia.
Munir has failed to progress after a bright start to his career and now Barca are willing to cash in.
Barcelona want around £10million for the forward, who scored six goals and added three assists last term.
But the Prem trio would only want to pay up to £8m.
Should he decide to stay with the La Liga giants he will find it hard to find game time, with Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar the established front three.
New boss Ernesto Valverde has also moved to bring back Gerard Deulofeu from Everton.
Latest transfer news
West Ham, Palace and Southampton are not the only teams to ask about Munir.
Everton, Ajax and Real Sociedad are also reported to have enquired about the youngster.
Zenit St Petersburg made a formal offer for Munir but he rejected a move to Russia.
Munir is both Spanish and Moroccan, but the Spanish national team snapped him up in September 2014 before Morocco could have the chance.
Aged just 19, he made his debut for Spain but has not made another international appearance since.
He came through the youth system at Barcelona and has made 45 appearance, scoring 10 goals for the club since his debut in the 2014-2015 season.
