"West Ham United midfielder Guido Rodriguez has expressed his excitement after touching down in Spain to complete his transfer to Valencia. The 31-year-old, who joined West Ham last summer, is now set to finalise a short-term deal that will keep him at Mestalla until the end of the season. Valencia have been in negotiations with West Ham for several weeks, pushing to secure Rodriguez as part of their January reshuffle."
"Rodriguez confirmed his delight upon arrival, telling El Chiringuito TV, as reported by Inside Futbol: I am very happy. Valencia is a very big club. I spoke with [Carlos] Corberan. The Argentine midfielder will be joining a Valencia side in desperate need of stability. The club are locked in a tense relegation battle, sitting just four points above 18th-placed Alaves and having managed only five wins in 21 league matches."
"Rodriguez's departure creates valuable squad space and reduces the wage bill, allowing room for targeted reinforcements. The Hammers have been linked with several midfield and attacking options, and offloading fringe players has become essential to their strategy."
