West Ham are reportedly set to launch a last-minute deal to sign Celta Vigo midfielder Stanislav Lobotka, according to reports from Italy.
Napoli are attempting to sign Lobotka, and look close to sealing a deal, but West Ham could throw a spanner in the works.
Il Mattino, via Sport Witness, claim that a summit in London will take place on Monday as Napoli try to get a deal for Lobotka over the line.
Celta want to sell the player outright, something that West Ham are reportedly willing to do, whilst Napoli would prefer an initial loan before signing him next Summer.
Celta want €27 million for the midfielder, whilst Napoli want a deal worth over €22 million.
Read West Ham’s verdict
The midfielder could be a great signing for West Ham. However, any deal seems unlikely.
West Ham don’t have the best relationship with Celta, after failing to secure a deal for Maxi Gomez over the summer.
It is likely that West Ham are simply being used by Celta to try and get more money out of Napoli.
