West Ham in talks to sign PSG’s Pastore

West Ham are in discussions with Paris St-Germain over a possible move to the London Stadium for Javier Pastore.

The Hammers have made enquiries about a host of players since the end of the season and a deal appears to be offing for Argentine midfielder Pastore, who has been linked with several Premier League clubs in recent months.

He is well liked by recently-appointed Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini, who is keen to bring him in.

PSG are open to offers for the 28-year-old as they need to cut costs in order to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations. It is thought that Pastore could cost around £18m.

Meanwhile, Ryan Fredericks is close to completing a move to West Ham from Fulham.

The right-back, who is out of contract, played a key role in Fulham’s promotion-winning campaign.

He has been offered a new deal but is set to leave despite the play-off triumph which secured a return to the top flight for Fulham after a four-year absence.

Fredericks, who started his career at Tottenham and made his senior debut during a loan spell at Brentford, joined Fulham from Bristol City in 2015.

He has made 114 appearances for the Whites, with 48 of them coming last season.
