West Ham United are close to finalising a loan deal with an option to buy for Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Alphonse Areola, reports Foot Mercato. The France international spent last season on loan at Fulham but is back at PSG after their relegation. Areola still has two years left on his current deal, but he does not have a future at the Parc des Princes, and the Hammers are looking to swoop.
