Hammers “95 per cent” certain to sign defender
The move has been widely speculated today (Mon) and tonight the club, via a key source. admitted the deal was 95 per cent completed.
The 29 year old is known for his stamina, athleticism, physical qualities, and technique, which make him a typical Moyes player and an effective attacking option.
However, during his six years at Stamford Bridge he has made a total of just 33 appearances in the first team and last season was on loan at Lyon where he made 29 appearances.
However, he now looks certain to be joining the Irons as the two clubs close in on a deal which we understand will see him arrive at a price of around £13 million with £2 million involved in add ons.
We were told exclusively that the club have been working on the deal for around two weeks and that it is now 95 per cent certain to happen.
