West Ham United are set to complete the signing of Palermo's Achraf Lazaar.

Reports suggest that the Hammers are willing to pay the £2.5million to land the Morocco international from the Italian club.

Lazaar, 24, is seen as a very affordable option for Slaven Bilic to strengthen the void left by injured left-back Aaron Cresswell, which has been partially filled by Arthur Masuaku.

West Ham signed Frenchman Masuaku from Olympiakos for £6.2m just over a week ago but with Europa League, Premier League and cup duties to look ahead to, Bilic is eager for a deep squad and is expected to snap up Monaco target Lazaar.
