West Ham United are set to confirm yet another signing after progressing with another deal before the Charlton game on Saturday at the London Stadium.

Today, a breakthrough has been reached for playmaker Divine Mukasa to join the Hammers on loan from Manchester City for a season, with no option or obligation to buy. Divine Mukasa spent over ten years in the West Ham academy before departing, and since joining Manchester City, he's been able to develop further and is now set to join the Hammers on loan.

The Hammers have made another signing this transfer window after securing Arne Engels’ signature. Joël Piroe from Leeds United has joined on loan with an obligation to buy.

Blondie’s obligation to buy will be triggered if the Hammers achieve promotion and it would cost £10 million.

Despite West Ham’s best efforts to get Troy Parrott, the Hammers missed out on their number one target by £4.4m, with AZ wanting £21.5m from West Ham, which couldn’t be afforded by the club, therefore Piroe was completed.

Arne Engels has become West Ham’s latest signing and is also set to break the Championship transfer fee record, with an expected deal to be concluded for £22 million.

He’s 22. Born in Belgium. Plays in midfield. But what makes him so special?
