EXCLUSIVE: Bilic gives green light to new Song deal
ClaretandHugh has reported that the club had been keen to get the defensive midfielder on board since before former Croatia boss, Bilic, arrived in east London.
Some fans believed these ambitions may have changed due to Slav’s arrival – but we have learned Bilic is an admirer of the Barcelona player and would love to include him in his plans for the new season.
A highly placed Hammers source confirmed that the club are monitoring the player’s rehab programme since he underwent an ankle operation.
He told ClaretandHugh exclusively: “The plan would be to bring him in ahead of the window closing.
“He may not be ready for anything up to six weeks after that, but better that than have to wait until the January window. Slaven is an admirer of the player and is happy for the deal to go ahead.”
