Diego Poyet suggests that West Ham deal is close

Poyet hints at Hammers deal

Teenage midfielder Diego Poyet has hinted that he will complete his move to West Ham United in the coming days.

The 19-year-old reportedly underwent a medical with the Hammers on Friday and has now tweeted using the 'Come on you Irons' hashtag.

He wrote: "Not ignoring everyone, crazy but exciting last few days. All will be revealed in time. Thanks for the messages #COYI."

Poyet, the son of Sunderland manager Gus, was named Charlton Athletic's Player of the Year last season despite not making his debut for the club until January.

He rejected a contract offer from the Addicks in order to make the switch to the Premier League.
