West Ham are officially set to miss out on Sasa Lukic to Fulham, with the Serbian set for a medical in London on transfer deadline day.
That’s according to a report from Sky Sports who claim that Fulham are close to signing the midfielder from Torino for just £8 million.

So missing out to Fulham seems really strange to me. The Hammers desperately need to bring in an upgrade on Tomas Soucek, and Lukic would have been perfect for us in my opinion…
West Ham could miss out to Fulham on transfer deadline day Lukic signing
Sky Sports reckon that Marco Silva is close to bringing the 26-year-old Serbian to Craven Cottage for just £8 million before tonight’s 11pm deadline.
West Ham losing out to Fulham on the midfielder just seems absolutely baffling to me.
Lukic also has the physical attributes to cope with the intense demands of Premier League football.
Standing at 6ft 1in tall, the Serbia international possesses a very strong and imposing physique. The Torino ace would be a huge upgrade on Tomas Soucek in my opinion.
Lukic is a terrific passer of the football as well, and would have helped us improve upon the fluency of our play through the middle of the park massively.
The Torino midfielder is definitely someone who the Hammers should have signed this month in my opinion, especially for just £8 million.
West Ham should be challenging Fulham to sign Sasa Lukic on transfer deadline day, but it seems as though David Moyes is sitting on his hands doing nothing again.
