Shakhtar Donetsk goalkeeper Jan Lastuvka has passed a West Ham medical.
Lastuvka has already had one spell in England with Fulham, although he was unable to secure regular football ahead of Antti Niemi.
"I'm glad it's turned out like this," Lastuvka told CTK. "I am looking forward to playing for West Ham and I'll do my best to repay their faith in me."
Lastuvka is also relishing the prospect of working under fellow countryman Ludek Miklosko, who is the goalkeeper coach at Upton Park.
"It's a big plus. I think the co-operation with him can help me a lot in improving my skills," he concluded.
