Sampdoria and West Ham wrestling over Obiang: the latest

The negotiations between Sampdoria and West Ham for Pedro Obiang have gotten complicated. The move is at risk because West Ham's manager, Pellegrini, doesn't want to be deprived of the center-midfielder and is stubbornly wanting to count on him. Obiang is trying to force Pellegrini's hand because he wants to return to Italy, but as more time passes, the less confident that a move will happen. Even Samp are less optimistic than last week: Obiang could stay in London.
