West Ham United are close to wrapping up a £4m deal for Nice defender Timothee Kolodziejczak, according to French Eurosport.
The 22-year-old left-back has been a prime target of Sam Allardyce's this summer and a price has now been agreed by the two clubs.
Kolodziejczak will now travel to London to discuss personal terms and undergo a medical with the Hammers ahead of his proposed move to Upton Park.
A French youth international, Kolodziejczak began his professional career with French giants Lyon before moving to Nice in 2012.
Avion-born Kolodziejczak made 34 Ligue 1 appearances for Nice last term, scoring twice.
