As revealed earlier on this site, the shock signing from Watford needs to complete the 13 games before the club is obliged to buy him – not that this will be anything other than a delight to David Moyes.
Daws will cost the Hammers £2.2 million and £1m of that has already been paid in the form of a loan fee.
However, although the precise figure is unknown the Hammers will almost certainly need to pay a bit extra via a likely clause claiming they will do so should we reach Europe.
The 30 year old will again line up against United as the Hammers most in-form player at a time when Angelo Ogbonna has been injured and it’s a huge compliment to him that the Italian’s amazing contribution this season has barely been noticed.
