According to multiple reports, AS Monaco midfielder Soungoutou Magassa (21) is on the verge of leaving the French side after weeks of transfer speculation.

Why He Missed Training
Magassa’s absence from Monaco’s training session on Friday raised eyebrows. But CEO Thiago Scuro later confirmed in a press conference that the midfielder was missing due to an imminent transfer.
Scuro didn’t name West Ham directly, but reports claim it’s the Premier League side who met Monaco’s asking price.
London Arrival
The French youth international is already said to be in London, finalising the last stages of the deal. This explains why fans spotted him missing from training at La Turbie on Friday.
Omo this is about to shake the Premier League – Monaco fans dey lose talent, but West Ham dey secure midfield strength.
