The Chilean winger is set to join the Hammers on a one-year loan deal with the option to make the transfer permanent.

When asked about Jimenez, Zola told Gazzetta dello Sport: "I hope it is completed soon. He is one of those lads who plays the kind of football I like. In England it's not easy to sign non-European players but I think these problems can be solved."

Jimenez has reportedly been granted a work permit for a switch to Upton Park, despite not playing the required number of matches in the last two years in Europe.

The South American was limited to only two Serie A starts last season, as injury prevented him from forcing his way into Jose Mourinho's squad.

The 25-year-old joined Inter in the summer of 2007 on loan from Ternana.
