“Wrap up” | Hammers to seal Diouf deal this week | OneFootball

West Ham are set to complete the deal to sign El Hadji Malick Diouf this week.

The Sparta Prague left-wing-back is a number one target for the club in that position this summer, with Graham Potter making clear to the club he must be signed to help kick on this season.

Negotiations have somewhat stalled in recent days, with West Ham spending the attention on selling Mohammed Kudus to Spurs for £54,5m, however negotations have now resumed for Diouf.

We understand that a package worth £17m is set to be agreed upon, with the player likely to have a medical this week and join his new teammates in Germany for a pre-season camp, ahead of the tour of the United States.

West Ham, although quiet in the window so far, as set to ramp up business in the coming days, which many at the club feel will lift the mood and confidence amongst the fanbase.
