West Ham United and Brentford are close to reaching an agreement over the transfer of El Hadji Malick Diouf, according to French outlet Foot Mercato.
West Ham are set to lose the Senegalese and manager Nuno Espirito Santo could look to bring in a replacement.
The 21-year-old played just 15 minutes in the League Cup against Portsmouth before coming on in the 87th minute against Burnley in their first Championship game of the season.
Diouf did not feature against Charlton Athletic over the weekend and might have played his last game for West Ham.
The Senegalese left-back is set to continue plying his trade in the Premier League, with final details now close to being settled between the Hammers and Brentford.
He made 32 Premier League appearances last term, weighing in with five assists.
Oliver Scarles has started at left-back in both Championship games for West Ham and could continue in the role .
Scarles was linked with Manchester United earlier this summer, but he is unlikely to leave the Hammers this summer.
The West Ham academy graduate can play further forward as a wing-back or midfielder, and he could establish himself as a regular for his club.
Losing Diouf is a huge blow for the Hammers, but relegation scuppered their hopes of hanging onto him.
He joined the club from Slavia Prague last summer in a £19 million deal and was one of their best players last term despite relegation.
