According to reports, William Carvalho is said to be nearing a deal to join West Ham.
The Hammers defensive fragilities showed during their 4-0 defeat against Manchester United on Sunday and the addition of Carvalho will be a good addition to the side.
The Hammers have signed former Premier League winners Joe Hart, Pablo Zabaleta, Javier Hernandez as well as Marko Arnautovic this summer though Carvalho could arguably be their most exciting signing of the summer should they finalize a deal.
The East London club are said to have submitted a £27.1 million bid for the Euro 2016 winning midfielder last week, though it has been said that Sporting are demanding £10 million more for a sale to take place.
The Portugal international Carvalho was also left out of Sporting’s opening victory over Vitoria Setubal on Friday as he tries to sort out his future for the new season.
