West Ham United are reportedly on the brink of announcing a deal for Issa Diop.
According to Les Violets, Issa Diop has signed for West Ham United after passing his medical with the London club.
Sky Sports reported that the Toulouse star travelled to the English capital on Monday for medical examinations ahead of a £21.9 million move.
And Les Violets has reported that the young defender has completed the final stage of the transfer process and a deal could be announced at some point today.
If and when the deal is announced, Diop will represent West Ham’s second signing of what could be a very exciting summer in East London.
Manuel Pellegrini tied up a deal for former Fulham right-back Ryan Fredericks already and the addition of Diop is sure to strengthen the Irons’ defence even more.
The Hammers already have one of the best young centre-halves in the Premier League in Declan Rice and, if Diop impresses as expected, Pellegrini could have an outstanding and youthful defence next term.
Diop is a very highly-rated prospect, with Sky Sports claiming that Monaco, Marseille, Leipzig and Sevilla had all registered an interest in the talented Frenchman.
