West Ham United are close to signing Arsenal teenager Tyrell Robinson on a two-year-contract. 

The 18-year-old is a winger who can operate on either flank and is in talks with Slaven Bilic's men.

Robinson, who can also play at left-back, featured for Arsenal at Under-21 level last season and scored seven goals for the Under-18's.

Robinson could be the second winger to join West Ham this summer after Sofiane Feghouli signed in June

The Basildon-born winger is held in high regard by the Arsenal hierarchy, who handed him a professional contract in January 2015.

Blessed with blistering pace and an abundance of technical ability, Robinson has trained with the Arsenal senior team and was part of the the Under-18 squad that narrowly missed out on a place in the Youth Cup final last season.

West Ham are eager to bolster their squad this summer as they prepare for European football and their first season at the Olympic Stadium.

The Hammers are interested in Michy Batshuayi, but the Belgian forward looks set to join Tottenham in the next few days.
