West Ham striker Ashely Fletcher is nearing a move away from the London Stadium after the hammers have accepted a bid believed to be £7m from Championship side Middlesborough.
Sky Sports have reported Fletcher has left the training camp as part of West Ham’s pre-season tour of Germany to continue talks with Boro over a permanent move to Garry Monk’s new look side.
Fletcher struggled to cement a starting place in the side and only managed one goal last season in 20 appearances, against his former team Manchester United in the EFL cup.
The 21-year-old was one of many failed transfers last season for the Hammers, consequently, many of those have now left the club such as Simone Zaza, Jonathan Calleri and Havard Nordtveit.
However, West Ham have recently completed the signings of forwards Marko Arnautovic for a record fee and Javier Hernandez who is now returning to the Premier League, so it would seem Fletcher is surplus to requirements.
Championship side Middlesborough have already signed another Hammer, Darren Randolph. The ‘keeper left the club following the arrival of England’s Joe Hart arriving last week.
If talks between Fletcher and Boro progress, he will become their ninth summer signing as they look to bounce straight back to the Premier League next season.
