West Ham are close to agreeing a deal worth up to €25m (£22m) to sign Issa Diop from Toulouse, according to Sky sources.

A deal was agreed in principle on Wednesday afternoon for the highly-rated 21-year-old centre back.

Diop, who captains the France U23 side, made 37 appearances for Toulouse last season.
