Reports suggest there could be further additions, with West Ham apparently making contact over a move for Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso, who is being widely tipped to leave before the cut-off at 11pm after falling out of favour under Ange Postecoglou.

The likes of Kurt Zouma, Maxwel Cornet, Danny Ings, Nayef Aguerd and James Ward-Prowse are also being linked with late exits from the London Stadium, so there could be a few incomings and outgoings in the next hours.

While it will be difficult, such is the busy and frantic nature of deadline-day, Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth has also backed reports that West Ham are still in for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Carlos Soler after weeks of speculation.

As the 27-year-old continues to be chased by West Ham, Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth has just shared a crucial update.

Soler ready to join West Ham and fly for medical on deadline day

According to the journalist, Soler is set to have a deadline day medical at West Ham and fly to England, with the club now reaching an agreement in principle to sign him from PSG on a season-long loan deal.

"West Ham United have agreed a deal in principle with PSG for midfielder Carlos Soler," wrote Sheth.

"Deal is for a season long loan. Player to fly to England and have a medical this afternoon."

The £107,000-per-week ace is now inches away from a fresh challenge in the Premier League, and looks very likely to become West Ham's ninth major signing of the window.
