West Ham are on the verge of completing a permanent £10.5million capture of goalkeeper Alphonse Areola from Paris Saint-Germain after the Hammers keeper enjoyed a successful loan spell last season.
The Hammers are set to wrap up the transfer early next week with personal terms between the club and the 29-year-old almost concluded, as reported by The Sun, but yet to be formally agreed.
Areola has been loaned out to several clubs since signing a professional contract with PSG in 2009, but thrived at West Ham last season - making 17 appearances for the side.
