Walker-Peters accepts West Ham offer as contract details revealed
West Ham are edging closer to the signing of Kyle Walker-Peters.
The Hammers could be set to complete their second signing of the summer after weeks of transfer inactivity at the London Stadium.
Slavia Prague defender El Hadji Malick Diouf has come in and now looks set to be joined in the full-back position by the ex-Southampton man.
The 28-year-old has been given the green light ahead of a deal to link up with the claret and blue faithful after a failed move elsewhere.
Walker-Peters agrees West Ham move
It is a surprise that the former England international has gone this long without finding a club after leaving the Saints at the end of his contract.

| Appearances | 192 |
| Goals | 6 |
| Assists | 12 |
After five years at St Mary’s, the versatile defender opted to move on and was strongly linked with a move to Turkish giants Besiktas.
This move ultimately fell through and left the door open for the Hammers to step in and make a move for a second Graham Potter signing within a week.
It appears that this deal has moved ever closer, with Fabrizio Romano reporting on 18 July that Walker-Peters has agreed to join West Ham on a three-year deal.
The transfer specialist has given his “here we go” seal of approval on the deal in East London as formal steps look to come next after an initial agreement.
Having turned down a move to the Super Lig just days ago, quick talks with the Irons look set to be concluded ahead of a deal until 2028.
West Ham to pull of Walker-Peters coup
It is fair to say that the claret and blue outfit have been in desperate need of some smart transfer dealings for many years.
There have been some positive additions at times, but it has been all too often that David Sullivan has forked out for some unnecessary deals.
A deal for Walker-Peters is completely against that usual strategy and appears to be a positive deal that comes without much risk.
The Tottenham academy graduate provides versatility for the Hammers, something that can only make this deal better at first viewing in E20.
