# West Ham agree terms with Lazaar, €4m deal

According to [Mediagol](https://www.mediagol.it/palermo/calciomercato-palermo-offerta-del-west-ham-per-achraf-lazaar-si-attende-risposta-zamparini/?refresh_ce-cp), West Ham have agreed personal terms with Palermo winger/defender Achraf Lazaar.

The report says that West Ham have negotiated a three-year contract with Lazaar, which will see him earn £900k-per-year.

West Ham have offered him a deal after agreeing a €4m fee with his club, Palermo. The Palermo president was reluctant to accept, but had little choice. Lazaar has just one year left on his contract.

Lazaar has refused to sign a new deal at Palermo, which is why the Italian side have been forced into cashing in on their asset.

The 24-year-old can play at left-back, or on the left-wing, which is an attractive prospect for West Ham, The Hammers are currently on the lookout for a left-back, with Lazaar possibly being the answer to their problems.

Aaron Cresswell is expected to be out of action for four months, which is a massive blow in itself. Lazaar could fill in for him during this period if the move goes through.
