West Ham United are reportedly close to finalizing a loan deal with an option to buy for Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper, Alphonse Areola.
The France international spent last season on loan at Fulham but is back at PSG following their relegation from the Premier League.
Areola still has two years left on his current deal, but he does not have a future at the PSG and West Ham are looking to swoop.
The Hammers handed Lukasz Fabianski a new one-year deal recent, but they could do with a quality long-term replacement for Poland International.
The 36-year-old is most likely entering his last season at the London Stadium, and Areola could be an upgrade on him ahead of the new season.
Alphonse has experience having participated in major competitions like the Champions League and that would come as a boost for West Ham in their Europa League campaign.
The 28-year-old PSG star was one of Fulham’s best performers despite their woeful season, and the Hammers could be offering him the opportunity to become a Premier League mainstay.
West Ham manager David Moyes wants to make his side regular top-six challengers after last season impressive campaign and making some top additions to his squad this summer is necessary for that to happen.
A temporary deal for Areola is a smart move as the club can always decide whether he is worth a permanent deal next summer, and the Hammers could soon end up having two top goalies within their ranks.
