West Ham poised to sign Finland’s Nystrom

West Ham are poised to sign Finland international Eva Nystrom.

The 25-year-old hopes to complete her move to London next week, ending a four-year stay at Swedish club Hammarby.

The centre-back would become West Ham's first signing of the January transfer window and fills a position that was a priority for manager Rehanne Skinner.

She has picked up 13 caps for her country having spent the majority of her career playing in Sweden after coming through the youth team at Finnish club PK-35 Vantaa.
