Transfer News: Kante set to join West Ham on long-term deal

West Ham United are close to signing 18-year-old midfielder Mohamadou Kante from Paris FC on a five-year deal.

The young talent will undergo a medical soon, and while he's not expected to make an impact immediately, he's a promising prospect for the future.

Kante's signing is a strategic move, and he will spend the rest of the season on loan back at Paris FC, allowing him to continue developing before joining the Hammers next season.

This summer has been exciting for West Ham, with Julen Lopetegui addressing key squad issues by bringing in players like Niclas Fullkrug, Jean-Clair Todibo, and Max Kilman.

Although they lost their opening Premier League match against Aston Villa, there's a sense of optimism as the new signings settle in.

Meanwhile, Premier League giants Chelsea have completed a move for Joao Felix after agreeing a deal with Atletico Madrid.

Blues boss Enzo Maresca remains keen on improving his attacking options ahead of the deadline in 10 days.
