West Ham’s latest summer arrival, Jonathan Calleri, is expected to receive international clearance to complete his season-long loan move from Uruguayan side Deportivo Maldonado.
Jack Sullivan took to Twitter this afternoon to give an update on the situation surrounding Calleri and his move to West Ham.
Slaven Bilic confirmed last week that a deal had been agreed to sign Calleri on a season-long loan move and the transfer will be completed once he receives a UK work permit.
It’s understood he has now received one and is awaiting international clearance to finally complete the move, something Jack Sullivan cleared up today.

“Calleri has signed on a season long loan, however he need International clearance which takes a few days before he can play. #COYI” he posted on Twitter this afternoon.
The 22-year-old Argentine striker is expected to join up with the first-team squad after their Premier League curtain-raiser against Chelsea tonight and could be in with a chance of featuring at the weekend against Bournemouth.
The former Boca Juniors and Sao Paulo star was part of the Argentina squad which were prematurely knocked out of the Olympics this month which has seen Calleri return to club action sooner than expected, which is positive for the Hammers.
