West Ham agree terms with AC Milan for striker Carlos Bacca

As West Ham prepare to begin life at the Olympic Stadium, the Hammers’ recruitment drive is in full flow.

Norwegian international Havard Nordtveit has joined the Irons on a free transfer from Borussia Monchengladbach and Sofiane Feghouli has signed on a free transfer from Valencia.

Rumours have also circled that West Ham are signing Gokhan Tore from Besiktas.

And now it appears that the Hammers are close to closing a deal for AC Milan striker Carlos Bacca.

Bacca & AC Milan

Colombian striker Bacca scored 18 goals in Serie A last season but new Milan manager Cristian Brocchi is said to be keen to build his own team.

The 29-year-old is thought to up for sale, and West Ham are set to pick up the South American star according to Italian transfer guru Gialuca Di Marzio. He’s reported:

West Ham has reached a deal with Milan on the basis of 27 million plus 3 bonus.

The next step is to find a deal with the player over his wages, with the Hammers ready for an important investment of 4 million a season yearly, which will be easily reached with performance bonuses.
