West Ham sixth signing is imminent

The cat is out of the bag again as the club plan to announce their sixth signing of the summer in the form of centre-back Fabian Balbuena.

West Ham Italy on Twitter posted a photo inside the London Stadium club store of two shirts with the name Balbuena on the back as they prepare for their next announcement.

Earlier this week Brazilian side Corinthians confirmed West Ham met the release clause for defender Fabian Balbuena and he would make his way to London for a medical.

Manuel Pellegrini was looking to sign another centre-half after the capture of 21-year-old Issa Diop earlier the summer on a club-record deal and the Paraguayan international is seemingly the manager and Mario Husillos’ choice after being offered the chance by a South American agent for the release clause of £3.5m.
