West Ham are set to complete the loan signing of Inter Milan midfielder Joao Mario

Inter Milan midfielder Joao Mario has arrived in London and is undergoing a medical with West Ham.

Sky sources understand the 25-year-old could sign in time to make his debut against Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Tuesday.

West Ham also have the option to make the deal for the Portugal international permanent in the summer for £26m.

Speaking ahead of West Ham's FA Cup game at Wigan on Saturday, David Moyes said: "Once we get the medical out of the way we'll be able to tell you what he'll bring to the side.

"It'll be a loan rather than a permanent move."

Moyes is keen to sign at least two players before the close of the transfer window having previously insisted he inherited an "imbalanced squad".

He has since lost attacking trio Andy Carroll, Manuel Lanzini and Marko Arnautovic to injury.

Mario has been capped 31 times by Portugal and helped them win Euro 2016

Mario has featured intermittently for Inter following the arrival of Luciano Spalletti as manager and has failed to score in 15 matches this season.

He joined the Italian side for £35m from Sporting Lisbon in 2016 after helping his country to victory at Euro 2016.
