Kepa Blanco could be joining either Manchester City or West Ham
on loan according to his agent, with Charlton seemingly out of the
race for the Sevilla striker.
The Addicks had looked to be leading the chase for the 22-year-old,
but Kepa's agent Alvaro Torres has now confirmed that the forward
has a straight choice between a move to Eastlands or Upton
Park.
Both City and The Hammers are looking to recruit Kepa from the
Primera Liga leaders after the player grew frustrated with a lack
of opportunities under Juande Ramos this season.
Now Alan Curbishley and Stuart Pearce face an anxious wait to see
whether Sevilla opt to loan their striker to England, and if so
whether his destination is Manchester or London.
"Sevilla is evaluating two offers from West Ham and Manchester City
for Kepa," said Torres.
"Both offers are six-month loan deals.
"The club should make a decision later today."
