A. Areola will join the "West Ham" team © JumpStory

„Sky Sports“ reports that „West Ham“ will soon activate an €11 million buyout option for Alphonse Areola, who played for the „Hammers“ on loan last year. Currently, Areola belongs to the PSG team, but his contract with the French champions is valid until the summer of 2023. It is said that „West Ham“ has already agreed with the goalkeeper on a 5-year contract, so they just need to submit an offer to the PSG team. The French goalkeeper was also of interest to „Newcastle“, but the „Magpies“ decided to focus on former „Burnley“ goalkeeper N. Pope. Areola played 17 matches for „West Ham“ last season, conceding 15 goals and keeping his goal clean 8 times.
