Tottenham Hotspur target William Carvalho could travel to England today for a medical with West Ham as the east Londoners close in on his transfer this month.
The 25-year-old midfielder has been linked with a move to England over the last few years and this summer hasn’t been any different, with a number of Premier League clubs keeping tabs on him.
Tottenham and Crystal Palace have been keen on signing the Portugal international, but West Ham have been putting in a real effort since last week to get the deal over the line.
They have already convinced the player about a move to the London Stadium and his representatives have agreed a contract worth €2.5m per year with the Hammers.
An agreement with Sporting Lisbon was proving to be difficult but it has been claimed a deal worth €40m is close to being agreed, with West Ham agreeing to pay an initial fee of around the €35m mark.
