Formose Mendy reportedly agrees terms to join West Ham United from Amiens in the January transfer window.

That’s according to Wiwsport who claim that the 22-year-old’s entourage have reached an agreement with the Hammers about a move to the London Stadium for their client.

West Ham boss David Moyes needs to strengthen his central defensive ranks at the London Stadium before the end of the month.

Craig Dawson has left to join Wolves whilst Kurt Zouma is expected to be out injured for at least a month with a thigh problem.

Amiens defender Mendy would be a great addition to Moyes’s ranks in my opinion, and he was first linked with a move to East London a couple of weeks ago.

It now seems as though a deal is close to being wrapped up…

Formose Mendy agrees to join West Ham

Wiwsport claims that the 22-year-old centre-back could be picked up for as little as €8 million (£7 million) this month.

That sounds like an absolute bargain deal to me, and Mendy has allegedly already agreed terms with West Ham about a move to West Ham.

If we manage to get this deal over the line, the Senegal international will be a superb addition for the Hammers in my opinion.

Standing at 6ft 3in tall, the 22-year-old is totally dominant in the air, and will be a real threat from set-pieces for West Ham.

Mendy is a good reader of the game for someone so young, is strong in the tackle and fairly quick along the ground as well.

£7 million for the centre-back will be an absolute bargain for the Hammers in my opinion.

And with the report claiming that Formose Mendy agrees to join West Ham, it shouldn’t be too long before we see the Senegalese ace in the famous Claret and Blue.
