West Ham have stepped up their interest in Edson Alvarez by reportedly agreeing personal terms with the Ajax midfielder.
The 25-year-old midfielder is open to the move with manager David Moyes keen to bring the player to the London Stadium this summer.
Defensive midfielder Alvarez could fill the void left by Declan Rice following his £105million move to Arsenal earlier this summer.
Now the Hammers will hold talks with the Dutch club over the weekend, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.
The move comes as Moyes' future at West Ham is under serious threat following a row over recruitment.
