West Ham have agreed to sign the Paris Saint-Germain defender Thilo Kehrer for a fee of £10.1m plus add-ons. The Germany international travelled to London to finalise personal terms on Tuesday and West Ham are hopeful of concluding the deal in time for Kehrer to be involved in the first leg of their Europa Conference League playoff against the Danish side Viborg on Thursday.
David Moyes, who is also interested in the Chelsea left-back Emerson Palmieri and the Club Brugge midfielder Hans Vanaken, has been forced to look for additions in defence because of an injury crisis that has left him with Kurt Zouma as his only available centre-back.
