Toulouse defender Issa Diop is attracting interest from England, with West Ham United, Everton and Fulham all believed to be interested in signing the Frenchman.
It was French newspaper L’Equipe who reported the Hammers had submitted a €15-€20 million bid for the 21-year-old on Wednesday. On the same day, the same publication also mentioned interest from the Merseyside club and the Cottagers.
Today’s edition of L’Equipe reports Diop’s move to West Ham should “come to fruition in the next few days”. The central defender still has two years left on his contract with the Ligue 1 outfit.
West Ham were facing competition from Sevilla for Diop. The Spanish outfit were ready to pay €15m for the defender, while the Premier League club offered €10m more than Sevilla.
The report claims West Ham and Toulouse have reached an agreement for the player. Diop will travel to London early next week and sign a five-year deal with Manuel Pellergini’s side.
Diop started in 34 league games for Toulouse in the 2017/18 season and scored three goals in the process.
