One of the most coveted positions for reinforcements at West Ham was considered to be the forward position, and it seems that the Hammers are close to signing for this role.
Earlier, we informed that Julen Lopetegui's team were targeting the signing of Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran, and according to Caught Offside, the London club have reached an agreement for the Colombian to move to their club.
It is believed that the 20-year-old forward's transfer fee will be in excess of £35 million. Earlier, it was reported that West Ham also intend to include in the deal 10 per cent of the subsequent resale of Duran.
Recall that the transfer of the Colombian may become the fourth for the "Hammers" in the summer transfer window. Earlier, West Ham signed Max Kilman from Wolverhampton, Luis Guilherme from Palmeiras and Wes Foderingham from Sheffield United.
