West Ham have reportedly agreed a £5million fee to sign brilliant Switzerland defender Fabian Schar.

The FC Basel defender is one of the finest centre backs around and has been strongly linked with Arsenal and Chelsea in recent months.

He has always maintained his desire to play in the Premier League, and that now looks set to happen, with reports saying West Ham have provisionally agreed a £5million fee.

The Hammers are ‘far down the line’ with the transfer and look set to get the 23-year-old signed up.
