Pedro Obiang

West Ham United On 10 June 2015, West Ham United announced the signing of Obiang for an undisclosed fee on a four-year contract. He made his Premier League debut on 15 August as a half-time substitute for Reece Oxford in a 1–2 home defeat to Leicester City. In November 2016, Obiang was announced as West Ham's Player of the Month for October.

On 4 February 2017, Obiang scored his first Premier League goal for West Ham on his 55th appearance for the club, against Southampton. The ball fell to Obiang from a corner, where he controlled and then shot, finding the bottom corner from 25 yards out. On 20 March 2017, he was ruled out for the remainder of the 2016–17 season, having rolled his ankle during a home defeat by Leicester on 18 March 2017. In January 2018, Obiang was injured during an FA Cup game against Wigan Athletic. In February, he underwent knee surgery and was ruled out for the remainder of the 2017–18 season.

Obiang won the 2017–18 West Ham goal of the season award for his thunderbolt strike against Tottenham.

Sassuolo On 24 July 2019, Obiang signed for Sassuolo. He was diagnosed with bronchopulmonary disease in August 2021 and was omitted from all sporting activity as a precaution.

Monza On 5 June 2025, Obiang signed a one-year contract with an option to extend with Monza, who had just been relegated to Serie B.

International career Obiang has been capped for Spain at youth levels. Obiang received a call-up for the Porto International Tournament in April 2011.

Due to his Fang background, the Gabonese Football Federation tried, unsuccessfully, to persuade Obiang to play for Gabon, although both his parents and his grandparents are from Equatorial Guinea. In November 2011, they included him in a squad list for a match between the country's under-20 and China; however, he ignored the call.

Being eligible to represent Equatorial Guinea, in 2011, the country's federation approached Obiang to enquire if he would be willing to represent the country at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations; however, Obiang declined. In April 2015, after a meeting with the Equatoguinean Football Federation people, Obiang's stance on representing Equatorial Guinea appeared to have changed after showing a desire to play for the country. On 5 October 2016, Obiang reunited in London with Equatoguinean Football Federation president Andrés Mbomio, and Equatoguinean national team head coach and coordinator Esteban Becker and Juvenal Edjogo Owono respectively to reach an agreement.

On 7 November 2018, Obiang was officially called up for the Equatorial Guinea national team. Obiang made his debut for Equatorial Guinea in a 1–0 loss to Senegal on 18 November 2018. In December 2018 he said he was "proud" to play for the nation. He scored his first international goal on 22 March 2019 in a 4–1 African Cup of Nations qualifying win against Sudan.

Managerial career In August 2026, Obiang was appointed sporting director of Monza.

Personal life Obiang is the nephew of Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, the second president of Equatorial Guinea.
