West Ham are close to completing the signing of El Hadji Malick Diouf, it has been reported by ExWHUEmployee.

A £19m plus £4.3m in add ons deal was struck yesterday between the club and Slavia Prague, with the player heading straight to London to undertake the next steps of his transfer.

“We can confirm that El Hadji Malick Diouf has been at the training ground and the medical facilities all day,” stated Ex. “We have been told that the medical went well and hopefully this will be confirmed by all the results.

“He has done some of the media work and will be finishing it off this afternoon. This should mean that if all goes to plan he will be confirmed as a West Ham player either this evening or within the coming days. We haven’t got official confirmation of his squad number but the number 12 he wore at his former club is available and is thought to be his preference.

“The interest in the player was exclusively revealed by us on the 18th June 2025 on patron which ironically was the same day we revealed Spurs’ interest in Kudus.”
