# West Ham closing in on N’Diaye move

West Ham look to be edging ever closer to securing the signature of Osmanlispor midfielder Badou N’Diaye.

According to a report from Turkish news outlet [Fanatik](https://www.fanatik.com.tr/2017/07/19/n-diaye-de-son-gorusme-1308160) today, the two clubs are to hold a meeting as discussions continue over a potential transfer.

It’s stated that the Hammers’ representatives have flown out to Turkey to negotiate with Osmanlispor, with N’Diaye being a key target for Slaven Bilic this summer.

The report claims that West Ham will stump up a fee worth approximately £8.5m for the combative midfielder, as they look to win the race for his services.

Crystal Palace had been linked with a move for the powerful midfielder but West Ham are clearly expressing the most desire to land him, with their pursuit appearing to accelerate in recent times.

N’Diaye notched seven goals from midfield last summer and looks set to step up from Turkish football to test himself on English soil for the first time in his career.
