West Ham United have agreed personal terms with Club Brugge star Raphael Onyedika ahead of a summer transfer, according to journalist Sebastian Vidal.
The Hammers are set for a busy summer transfer window as Graham Potter looks to put his stamp on the squad at the London Stadium following a disappointing campaign in which they finished in 14th place in the Premier League.
Midfield is expected to be an area which is targeted strongly, and now Nigeria international Onyedika is edging close to a move to the top flight in England.

Club Brugge midfielder Raphael Onyedika
After shining in the UEFA Champions League this season with Club Brugge, Onyedika is set to move away from the Belgian league and West Ham are pushing ahead with a deal.
According to Vidal, the Irons have now agreed personal terms with the central midfielder, and talks are underway with the Belgian club over a deal worth around £20m.
West Ham also face competition from Serie A giants AC Milan, but currently they are leading the race and now have the buy-in from the player to go with that.
"West Ham have agreed personal terms with a second major signing after Daniel Cummings, this time beating AC Milan! "Talks are underway with Club Bruges for a transfer estimated at £20 million for Raphael Onyedika, who are attracted by the idea of joining the Premier League.
Compared to Arsenal star Thomas Partey for his style of play by analyst Ben Mattinson, Onyedika would be a welcome addition to Potter's side with big question marks over the futures of Tomas Soucek and Guido Rodriguez.
The club have already made their move to complete their first signing of the summer with Celtic striker Daniel Cummings already completing a medical ahead of signing on a free transfer on July 1st.
