West Ham and Southampton 'close' to sealing a deal for £14m-rated Barcelona full back Junior Firpo this summer - with both Premier League clubs 'locked in talks for days' over Nou Camp outcast

West Ham and Southampton are reportedly 'close' to sealing a deal for £14million-rated Barcelona defender Junior Firpo this summer.

Firpo, 24, moved to the Nou Camp from Real Betis in 2019 but has largely struggled for first-team action, and his club are believed to be open to offloading him in the upcoming window.

Sport, an outlet in Spain, claims Barcelona are 'confident' of being able to sell Firpo - and that the two Premier League sides have been in talks over the full back for a number of days now.
