West Ham are expected to confirm the permanent signing of Manuel Lanzini in the next few days, reports the London Evening Standard.

The 23-year-old midfielder has been on loan at West Ham from UAE club Al Jazira and the fee for the Argentine is expected to be £7.4million.

Meanwhile, the Hammers have agreed to sign Norway midfielder Havard Nordtveit on a free transfer from Borussia Moenchengladbach next season.
