Africa Top Sports, who quote the Express, state that Feghouli’s move to East London will be concluded in a matter of days as the two parties are in advanced talks over a move.
They understand that Fenerbahce were in pole position to land the winger having edged ahead of West Ham, Sevilla and Inter Milan, but the player has finally opted for a move to England with the Hammers.
West Ham are in the market for a winger or two this summer and want to make Feghouli their next summer arrival after Havard Nordtveit signed on a five-year deal on a free transfer from Borussia Monchengladbach.
The Hammers were hopeful of signing Gokhan Tore from Besiktas – a player that manager Slaven Bilic admirers from his time in charge of the Turkish side – but the two clubs are struggling to agree a fee for the former Chelsea youth star.
