Prem trio join race for hot-shot Jose
West Ham, Blackburn and Wigan are reported to have entered the race to sign Espanyol's highly-rated striker Jose Callejon this summer.[LNB] The Hammers are said to have sent scouts to watch the 23-year-old in action during Saturday's Catalan derby, in which Espanyol held Barcelona to a 0-0 draw.[LNB]Blackburn and Wigan are also believed to have expressed an interest in the talented frontman, but are considered to be outsiders to land his signature.[LNB]Espanyol have already revealed that they will be willing to part with Callejon over the summer, if the price is right.[LNB]They rejected an offer of £3.5million during the January transfer window, but would have had to pass 15% of that fee onto Real Madrid.[LNB]The capital giants included such a clause in Callejon's contract when they offloaded him in 2008.[LNB]However, that agreement is set to expire on 30th June, meaning Espanyol will keep 100 per cent of any fee generated.[LNB]That has convinced them that the time may be right to sell, with reports suggesting a £4.4million offer would be enough to force their hand.
