West Ham are on the brink of signing Eintracht Frankfurt striker Sebastien Haller.

The Daily Mail says West Ham expect to finalise the whirlwind £36million signing of Frankfurt's Haller in the coming days.

The Hammers only registered interest in Haller on Wednesday but talks rapidly progressed and the striker is ready to pen a four-year contract.

The 25-year-old's representative Loic Gustan and Munich-based lawyer Christian Schmid led discussions and there is a confidence that West Ham's search for a new front man has ended.

Manuel Pellegrini is desperate to land a new striker after running out of patience with Marko Arnautovic and selling him to Shanghai SIPG in a cut-price £22.4m deal.
