West Ham United close to Cheikhou Kouyate signing?

West Ham United will reportedly complete the signing of Cheikhou Kouyate in the next 48 hours.

The Anderlecht defender will undergo a medical at the club ahead of a proposed £7.5m move, according to the Belgian media.

The Brentwood Gazette says that the 24-year-old Senegal international will agree a four-year contract with the club if he passes the medical.

The Hammers have already strengthened their squad this summer, completing the signing of Mauro Zarate last month.
