# West Ham Agree Lanzini Loan Deal

West Ham are said to be closing in on the signing of Manuel Lanzini on a season long loan from Al Jazira, repots [Goal](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2892/transfer-zone/2015/07/06/13345052/-?).

The 22-year-old attacking midfielder is deemed surplus to requirements at the UAE Arabian Gulf league side only a year removed from signing a four-year deal following a £6.4m move from River Plate.

Slaven Bilic was considering a loan swoop for the former Argentine U20 international, who scored eight goals in 24 appearances last season for Al Jazira.

However, it was reported last week that fellow [UAE side Al-Sharjah were also considering a loan bid](https://readwestham.com/2015/07/05/west-ham-rivalled-in-lanzini-bid/) for the talented playmaker.

“*Sharjah have shown an interest in Lanzini and the Jazira management is looking at the offers,*” said a club source told UAE news outlet The National. “*Of course, the player will have a say as well.*”

Now, Goal understands that West Ham have agreed a loan deal with Al Jazira to take Lanzini on a season-long loan, and are able to meet his wage demands.

Owning an Italian passport, he would not require a work-permit either.

A club source told Goal  “*Everything is agreed, the player is now sorting things out but if everything goes according to plan he will be flying to England for a medical at some point this week.*“
