West Ham are edging closer to the signing of Kyle Walker-Peters. Softfootball understands that the Hammers could be set to complete their second signing of the summer after weeks of transfer inactivity at the London stadium.
After bringing in Slavia Prague defender, El Hadji Diouf Malick, they now look set to add ex-Southampton man to the fold. The 28-year-old has been given the green light ahead of a deal to link up with the claret and blue faithful after a failed move elsewhere.

After five years at St Mary’s, the versatile defender opted to move on and was strongly linked with a move to Turkish giants Besiktas. The failed move ultimately left the door open for the Hammers to step in and make a move for a second signing within a week.
Transfer journalist, Fabrizio Romano wrote about the deal on X handle July 18.

The Tottenham academy graduate provides versatility for the Hammers, something that can only make this deal better at first viewing in E20.
Softfootball reported how West Ham United finally accepted Tottenham yHotspur’s £55m offer for Mohammed Kudus. The former Ajax midfielder has been a long-term target for Spurs this summer.
