Although terms of the agreement were not disclosed, it's understood West Ham will pay up to a club-record €50-million (£45 million) fee to procure the 25-year-old's services, Jacob Steinberg of the Guardian reports.
The transfer would exceed the £36 million that was sent to Lazio in exchange for Felipe Anderson last summer.
West Ham have been in need of depth at the forward position following the departures of Marko Arnautovic, Andy Carroll, and Lucas Perez.
Despite being heavily linked with a move for Maxi Gomez, the Hammers missed out on signing the 22-year-old who joined Valencia from Celta Vigo for €14.5 million.
Haller scored 33 goals in 77 appearances for Eintracht.
