Slaven Bilic has
confirmed that West Ham are on the verge of completing the signing of Valencia
ace Antonio Martinez.
talkSPORT told you yesterday the
Hammers were in talks with the Spanish side for the 18-year-old forward, who can
play up front and on the wing, and now it appears a deal is close to being
completed.
Martinez is likely to join up with the club's second string
from the start of next season and Bilic praised his academy staff for spotting
the talented forward.
"With Martinez we are quite close," said Bilic.
"Terry Westley from the under-21s has done a tremendous
job if we finish it.
"We are quite close to getting one of the brightest
talents from Valencia."
