Our daily look at the West Ham United stories in the news...

This morning's Express reports that Marko Arnautovic's transfer from Stoke City is edging closer and the Austrian could undergo a medical with the Hammers today.

Their story says a fee of £24m has been agreed between the clubs, which would make Arnautovic West Ham's record signing.

Meanwhile, the Daily Star says Jack Wilshere would be open to a move to West Ham this summer, should the Hammers opt to try to take him across London from Arsenal.

Also in the papers is news of the Hammers agreeing a deal with Bayer Leverkusen for the transfer of Javier Hernandez.

BBC Sport carry the story that Hernandez is due in London in the coming days to undergo a medical and finalise the contract.
