West Ham United have reportedly secured the work permit needed to complete a deal for Atletico Madrid striker Raul Jimenez.
Slaven Bilic's side were linked with a move for the Mexican last week, but they have been forced to wait to hear whether they can push through a move before the end of the transfer window.
However, the Daily Mail claims that the 24-year-old has been given the all-clear to make the switch to Upton Park and the Hammers will pay £1.4m for the season-long loan deal.
West Ham were forced to enter the market for a striker after it was revealed that Enner Valencia would miss up to three months with a knee injury.
Jimenez scored just one goal in 27 appearances during his first season with Atletico.
