West Ham closing in on Chilean midfielder Gary Medel

West Ham United are close to signing Gary Medel from Besiktas.

According to SuperHaber, the player is set to join up with his compatriot Manuel Pellegrini at the London club.

The report adds that the deal is on the verge of being completed. It seems he could be West Ham’s first summer signing.

Medel has been linked with a move to West Ham before and it seems that the Hammers are finally set to land their target.

The combative defensive midfielder has played in the Premier League before with Cardiff City and he should be able to settle in quickly.
