West Ham likely value that eagerness, and see it as an opportunity to press Ajax to get the deal done quickly, especially with personal terms already agreed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Alvarez plays for the Mexican national team, and at 25 years old, can bring both experience and youth to the club. Winners of two Concacaf Gold Cups with Mexico, he brings a winning mentality to a team who will be participating in this season&#8217;s Europa League.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"HkA5tmyiTRtU-hYVe7-7Xw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1256930298\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'HkA5tmyiTRtU-hYVe7-7Xw',sig:'zlQKIt3cMm_KwUyNAhGQz-KvN-rRkZu2EaOpsL-eI20=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1256930298',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Moyes Under Pressure To Get Deal Done<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A package offer of \u00a330 million was made to Dutch club for the services of the Mexican midfielder.
