Second Hammer on verge of departure

Robert Snodgrass appears to be on the verge of departing West Ham,  and if confirmed will follow Seb Haller who joined Ajax today out of the door in the next twenty fours hours.

The 33-year-old Scotsman is poised to join Sam Allardyce at West Bromwich Albion on a 18 month contract for a nominal fee.

That confirmation could happen as early as today but is not fully completed as we go to press as it dependent of the outcome of his medical.

Yesterday Sam Allardyce confirmed Snodgrass was undergoing a medical  on Friday and would be joining Albion bar any last minute hiccups.

Big Sam told reporters “As long as the medical goes alright, by tomorrow [Friday] Robert Snodgrass will be a West Bromwich Albion player. I am absolutely delighted he has chosen to take up the challenge with us and that we will be adding some much needed Premier League experience and quality into the squad. I’m delighted he has said yes.”

Claret and Hugh understand that there are no plans to replace him in the squad this January and David Moyes is likely to give a youngster a chance to step up.

Snodgrass scored 11 goals in all competitions from 74 games for the Hammers and will be given a heroes send off by the club.
