West Ham United are closing in on a deal to bring midfielder Papa Bouba Diop to Upton Park.
The Senegal international was understood to have been on trial with the Hammers and it appears he has done enough to convince Sam Allardyce to hand him a contract.
The 33-year-old, dubbed ‘the wardrobe’, is available on a free transfer after leaving Greek side AEK Athens earlier in the summer.
