West Ham edging closer to bringing in goalkeeper Alphonse Areola on a season-long loan deal with an option to buy from PSG

West Ham are closing in on the loan capture of goalkeeper Alphonse Areola.

Areola is in London for a medical ahead of finalising a season-long loan move to West Ham from Paris Saint-Germain.

The deal will include an option for West Ham to buy the France international next summer.

Areola spent last season on loan at Fulham and impressed despite their relegation to the Championship.

But the 28-year-old has been pushed further down the pecking order at PSG by the arrival of Italy stopper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
