Football London journalist Sam Inkersole also reported that the 18-year-old has already completed his medical.

Cardoso made his professional debut with Boavista last October as a 17-year-old and made 15 appearances (all starts) for the Liga NOS outfit last term.

The teenager made a big impression at this summer’s U-19 European Championships with Portugal, scoring a goal and playing every minute en route to the final.

Cardoso is expected to join the West Ham first-team immediately and provide depth behind Issa Diop and Fabian Balbuena.
