West Ham Nears Mega-Deal for Belgian Star

Belgian midfielder Arne Engels is poised for a move to West Ham United, with the Premier League club reportedly in the final stages of a transfer exceeding €25 million from Celtic. This potential deal offers a financial boost to Augsburg, his previous club, who are expected to gain €2.6 million thanks to an agreed-upon sell-on clause.

Engels, who has made 100 appearances for Celtic, is set to undergo his medical examination before finalizing terms with the relegated Premier League side. He is anticipated to sign a contract extending until 2031. Meanwhile, Augsburg has been relatively quiet in the current transfer window, having previously rejected offers for Chrislain Matsima Mert Kömür from Crystal Palace and Hull City.
