West Ham are close to completing the signing of goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski from Swansea, according to Sky sources.
The Hammers have agreed a fee of around £7m for the Poland international, who will fill the void left by Joe Hart after he returned to parent club Manchester City.
Fabianski will become West Ham's third summer signing after France U21 centre-back Issa Diop and defender Ryan Fredericks.
The 33-year-old is currently at the World Cup and with just one year left on his contract, relegated Swansea are keen to conclude a sale this summer.
Speaking in Russia, Fabianski told journalists: "If I leave, I will regret that it happened at the moment when we fell from the league.
"I spent beautiful moments there. I remember that the club helped me in a bad time when I had health problems and I wasn't really playing at Arsenal.
"I was trusted and I met many great people in the city, I have a beautiful home there, in which I raised my son. The memories will last a lifetime."
