West Ham are showing keen interest in signing Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson during the summer transfer window.
According to a report from talkSPORT, the Hammers are leading the race to sign the 24-year-old player who wants to leave the Gunners in search of regular football.
Crystal Palace are also in the race to sign Nelson, who is valued at around £25 million. He has become frustrated at a lack of playing time, and an exit from the Emirates is highly on the cards.
However, TeamTalk suggests that Nelson has now agreed to join West Ham, which should be a big blow to Crystal Palace.
He has said ‘yes’ to joining West Ham. The Hammers are working on multiple signings simultaneously, but this should come as a massive boost for them.
West Ham have long been interested in the player and are now pushing to secure a deal for him in the summer transfer window.
While Crystal Palace still remain in talks to hijack the deal, it appears that West Ham are looking to wrap up the deal by the end of this week.
West Ham working on multiple deals

The Hammers are working on multiple deals at the moment. They are looking to sign a new right-back after Ben Johnson left the club to join Ipswich Town this summer on a free transfer.
West Ham are reportedly in advanced talks to sign Manchester United full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka and hope to complete the deal.
Julen Lopetegui is also looking to add a new centre-back this summer, and they have agreed a deal to sign Jean-Clair Todibo. However, it won’t be easy to get him on board as the defender prefers a move to Italy.
Nelson is a highly exciting player and he would be a fantastic signing for the Hammers. He is available at a reasonable price, and it is up both clubs to reach an agreement.
