West Ham United’s move for Swansea City goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski is all but confirmed while a fee for defender Issa Diop is agreed but there is a hitch regarding the player’s personal terms, according to ExWHUEmployee.

Ex, a club insider who regularly breaks accurate transfer news and news in general on all matters surrounding the London Stadium, made the revelation via his official Twitter feed.

At the same time, he also delivered an update on the possibility of signing Felipe Anderson from Lazio and Swansea’s Alfie Mawson, revealing that deals for the duo were still ongoing with the Italians expected to sell the Brazilian attacker.

OPINION:

The Hammers are in dire need of a new goalkeeper, particularly in light of Joe Hart’s return to Manchester City, it means they are extremely light of options between the sticks so it is great news for the club to be on the verge of announcing the signing the 6ft 2in player (source: Transfermarkt), who will certainly strengthen their options in that position. Hart was culpable for a number of errors last season as was Adrian, so fans will be hoping that with the arrival of the Polish international, the goalkeeping position will not be a cause of concern next season. The Hammers also need to see the heart of their defence shored up going into the new Premier League campaign following James Collins’ exit from the club. Alfie Mawson was one of the Swans’ star players last season despite the fact that the Welsh club were relegated from the top-flight making his signing imperative while the club must do all they can to ensure a deal for enforcer Diop from Toulouse also goes through despite issues surrounding personal terms.
