West Ham wrap up deal for Cheikhou Kouyate

West Ham United are expected to announce the signing of Anderlecht centre back Cheikhou Kouyate.

The Daily Mail says Belgian sources are reporting West Ham have signed Kouyate on a four-year-deal after completing a medical.

Kouyate has spent his entire senior career in Belgium but now looks set to join Sam Allardyce's side for a fee of around £7million as they look to secure a top-six finish in line with co-owner David Gold's aspirations.

The Senegal international passed his medical and put pen to paper on a four-year deal on Tuesday to secure a dream move to the Premier League.
