West Ham agree €40m deal to sign Alvarez

West Ham and Ajax have agreed a deal of £32 million for Mexico midfielder Edson Alvarez.

David Moyes’ side is the only Premier League club yet to sign a player this summer, but will seek to complete Alvarez’s transfer in the coming days.

Alvarez, a defensive midfielder, will sign a five-year contract and is considered to be a like-for-like replacement for Rice. The 25-year-old will now fly to London for a medical examination.

West Ham have a new transfer committee this summer, led by Tim Steidten, an ex-Bayer Leverkusen executive hired as technical director. They are still interested in Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay of Manchester United, and further acquisitions are expected before the transfer window closes. Despite Southampton’s staunch stance on their asking price, a new proposal for James Ward-Prowse is likely.

The Hammers will begin their Premier League campaign on August 12 away to Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium.
