West Ham United appear to be set to conclude a year-long loan move for Argentine midfielder Manuel Lanzini from Al Jazira.
The UAE-based club signed the attacking midfielder from River Plate last summer for a £5.25 million fee, despite interest from the Hammers at the time.
Now the Daily Mail is reporting Lanzini is now ready to move to London after just a season in the Middle East.
Lanzini, 22, possesses an Italian passport, so would not require a work permit to play in England.
The Argentine scored eight goals in 24 games last season, helping Al Jazira to second place in the Arabian Gulf League.
