|

West Ham are reportedly in talks this evening to sign Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Javier Pastore

Sky Sports News claims the club are discussing a deal that would be worth up to £17.5m and they are also believed ready to part with the 28-year-old to come into line with UEFA’s Financial Fair Play regulations.

Pastore, who joined PSG from Palermo in 2011, has only one year left on his current contract at the Parc des Princes.

The Argentine has scored 45 goals in 265 appearances for the current Ligue 1 champions and made 29 appearances for his national side.

The player was a regular in the PSG team last season making a total of 34 appearances and scoring four goals for the French champions who finished 13 points ahead of the pack.
