Slavia Prague’s El Hadji Malick Diouf is edging closer to completing a move to West Ham United.
At the weekend, various claims from the UK and Czech Republic stated West Ham have reached an agreement with Slavia Prague. This also confirmed by the latter’s sporting director, Jiří Bílek, who also said the fee is around €22m.
Bílek added the 20-year-old would travel to London to undergo medical tests with West Ham after his current club accepted the Hammers’ bid.
Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna today took to X, formerly known as a Twitter, to post a photo of El Hadji Malick Diouf with his agent inside a private jet.
According to the journalist, the left-back is flying to England to complete a move to the Premier League club.
He further adds the Senegal international is scheduled to undergo medical tests with West Ham on Monday and then sign his contract. This is all that is pending for the London club to make his transfer official.
Aouna adds the overall cost of the operation is around €25m, which is €3m more than what was stated by Bílek.
