According to Shields Gazette journalist Miles Starforth, Janmaat is set to join West Ham this week once DeAndre Yedlin’s £5m move from Tottenham to Newcastle is completed.
The American international defender was pictured arriving at Newcastle airport this afternoon ahead of a medical.
Right-back has been a problem position for the Hammers of late with Michail Antonio filling in at the position, but after his dismal display in the Premier League opener against Chelsea, Bilic has had to assess his options.
Sam Byram, a £3.7m arrival from Leeds back in January, has been used at right-back sparingly despite it being his natural position and has impressed when played.
However, it appears Slaven Bilic either doesn’t have complete confidence in the former England U21 international or wants to add another fullback to the squad and has targeting Janmaat to do just that.
The Gazette understand Janmaat has said goodbye to his team-mates and friends in the north-east and will complete a move this week.
