West Ham United have a deal in place for Atletico Madrid striker Raul Jimenez.

The Mirror says the Mexican will have a work permit hearing ahead of a loan with a view to a permanent move.

West Ham need to find cover for crocked striker Enner Valencia.

The Hammers also have a long standing interest in QPR striker Charlie Austin who has been a target for Newcastle, Southampton, Leicester and Crystal Palace.

QPR have slapped a £15m price tag on Austin's head and that has scared off Newcastle while he is also believed to prefer a move in London.
