West Ham are set to confirm the signing of attacking midfielder Manuel Lanzini.

The exciting 22-year-old will join on a season-long loan with a view to a permanent deal.

Mirror Football, which exclusively revealed the club's interest last month, understands he has completed his medical and is now waiting for the necessary paperwork to seal the transfer.

Lanzini will become the Hammers’ seventh signing of the summer. Known as ‘The Jewel’, he began his career at River Plate then moved to Al Jazira Club in the UAE via Fluminese.

Lanzini provides yet more depth to West Ham’s attacking options under Slaven Bilic.

The east Londoners already have £14million Dimitri Payet, they are looking to sign Everton sideman Kevin Mirallas and remain keen to bring in another striker.
