adminWest Ham United have reportedly reached a full agreement to sign their first player of the summer as the club continues its battle to stay in the Premier League.
The superstar has been a target for several weeks at the London Stadium ahead of the summer transfer window.
He has impressed in Ligue 1 this season and has attracted interest from clubs across Europe, even with weeks remaining before the transfer window officially opens.
The claret-and-blue outfit appear keen to strengthen their midfield after a difficult campaign in the Premier League.
While Mateus Fernandes has performed at a high level, transfer target Apha Toure remains the heartbeat of Metz’s midfield this season.
Apha Toure could now be on his way to West Ham United as the deal moves closer to completion ahead of the summer.
That form appears to have caught the attention of Nuno Espírito Santo and his staff, who are eager to complete an early transfer deal.
A report from Ahmadou Bamba has now emerged suggesting that an agreement in principle has already been reached between the parties for the Senegalese talent.
The midfielder is expected to cost around £6 million, with discussions reportedly progressing well.
R.S.C. Anderlecht are also interested, but the Irons remain in pole position to secure his signature, with a deal potentially set to be completed early next week.
West Ham could now land Toure as the midfielder reportedly pushes for a move from Ligue 1 to the London Stadium this summer.
There may still be questions over whether the Metz star would move to E20 if relegation strikes at the end of the season.
However, the answer appears to be yes, based on Alan Nixon’s latest Patreon report, which claims the player would be willing to play in the Championship for the right club.
After a potential £6 million move, he could prove to be a valuable asset in claret and blue regardless of the division the club finds itself in.
The East London side are clearly eager to get the deal over the line, and it now looks increasingly likely that they could do exactly that in the coming days.
