Midfielder closes in on Hammers exit

Sofiane Feghouli appears to be edging ever closer a West Ham exit. Galatasaray have reportedly upped their offer to the Hammers last week in a transfer deal worth around £4.5m last in an attempt to seal the deal. Today French Football claim that Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek and Sporting Director Cenk Ergün went to France and the two of them are reported to have had a meeting with Feghouli agents at a hotel in Paris on Saturday evening.

Feghouli has been hit by injuries since arriving on a three-year deal from Valencia last summer and was restricted to only 27 appearances, from which he scored four goals.

Feghouli is one of West Ham’s top earners in a package made up of a high basic and a signing on fee worth £4m over three years. His departure would pave the way for the signing of Badou N’Diaye to become the Hammers fifth signing of the summer.
