Silkeborg IF defender Frederik Alves Ibsen is on the brink of moving to West Ham United.

Sky Sports says West Ham are set to sign Ibsen for £1.2m.

The fee was agreed on October 10 and the Denmark U21 international was in London last month to finalise personal terms.

The clubs are waiting on a UK work and residence permit for the 21 year old before he makes his official transfer in January.

Ibsen is primarily a centre back, but can also be used at right back.
