West Ham United 'closing in on Junior Firpo agreement'

West Ham United are reportedly confident of getting a deal over the line for Barcelona left-back Junior Firpo.

The 24-year-old is believed to be one of 14 players put up for sale by Barca on the back of a disappointing 2020-21 campaign.

West Ham were hoping to sign Firpo in the January window, but a move did not materialise and he featured just six times for the Catalans between February and the end of the season.

According to Sport, the Hammers' interest has never dwindled and they are locked in talks with Barcelona over a permanent transfer.

It is claimed that an offer of €16m (£13.78m) will be required for the Hammers to complete a deal for Firpo, who has also been linked with AC Milan in recent weeks.
