Unconfirmed reports are circulating tonight that Lacina Traore has snubbed West Ham and is heading for Everton.
Twitter is ablaze with the story which if true would fly totally in the face of work permit regulations covering the player’s move to the UK.
It took two days for the permit to be granted and under its terms West Ham United became the sponsor of the player named on the work permit – Lacina Traore.
We were told by a spokesman: “This is not transferable without the permission of the club and the Home Office. The club would need to submit a change of employment application to Home Office to change details on the work permit.
Any other club would not be able to make a fresh work permit appeal as rules forbid hearing appeals for the same player within a four month period.”
At this moment the stories are unconfirmed but it seems that if the player is heading for Merseyside the permit regulations have been well and truly breached and that a huge legal battle could be about to erupt berween the Hammers and the Toffees if this turns out to be the case.
We will keep you updated as soon as we receive further details but.
Just seems strange to me, that Westham always drag things out. And then the excuses from the two Davids begin. I think we have signed Cole and that’s yer lot mate. Lets hope I’m wrong, but I have been following the Hammers for long time

Me too – bin following 50 years – nothing surprises
