West Ham AGREE £34m deal with Ajax for Edson Alvarez, as Hammers finally prepare to spend chunk of Declan Rice money on their first signing this summer

West Ham have agreed a £34million deal with Ajax for Edson Alvarez.

Mexico international Alvarez is set to become the Hammers' first major signing of the summer and he will now fly to London to undergo a medical.

The deal will see West Ham finally spend part of the money that they received for the £105million sale of Declan Rice to Arsenal last month.

Alvarez started his career at Mexican club America before signing for Ajax in 2019.

He has made 147 appearances for Ajax and has scored 13 goals.
