West Ham handed boost in Alphonse Areola chase - with Paris Saint-Germain willing to partly subsidise his £120,000-a-week wages if he moves to the London Stadium permanently

West Ham have received a boost in their bid to sign Alphonse Areola with Paris Saint-Germain willing to contribute to his salary should he move to the London Stadium permanently.

Areola, who has been on loan at West Ham this season, has emerged as David Moyes' preferred goalkeeper target for this summer.

West Ham have a £10m option to buy the Frenchman, though matching his PSG wages of around £120,000-per-week represented a stumbling block.

Areola remained due to receive that money for another season with his PSG contract expiring in the summer of 2023.
