West Ham are on the brink of signing Lazio striker Keita Balde Diao.
Goal reports West Ham are set to beat their Premier League rivals to Balde's signature.
They claim the two sides have had ongoing talks for several weeks, with West Ham having two bids of €20m (£17m) and €25 (£22m) rejected.
But they appear to have been successful with their third bid of €32m (£28m), with just the payment structure of the deal to be resolved, along with personal terms for the player.
