West Ham confirm Issa Diop signing
West Ham have confirmed the signing of France U21 centre-back Issa Diop from Toulouse on a five-year deal.
The French defender joins for a fee of £21.9m, having successfully passed a medical and finalised personal terms on with the club.
Diop flew into London on Monday after a fee was agreed between the clubs last week, and he becomes new boss Manuel Pellegrini's second signing of the summer after Ryan Fredericks joined from Fulham.
