West Ham are still trying to trim down their squad before the transfer window closes next week and Robert Snodgrass is the most likely candidate to leave the club.
Simon Grayson has been very public in his interest in signing Snodgrass having managed him at Leeds earlier in their respective careers but has ruled out a permanent move for the winger because he would be too expensive.
I can tell you now that we won’t be buying Robert Snodgrass because of the fee and wages that come with it.
The only way we’ll get him is a loan deal. There won’t be too many clubs able to afford him in the Championship, if they can they have serious money. But he’s a player I like and will ask the question about his availability, like a lot of other managers.
Snodgrass signed for West Ham in a £10.2m deal from Hull last January but has failed to impress during his time at the club at Slaven Bilic is keen to offload the Scotland international.
The Northern Echo report that talks between West Ham and the Championship club will take place in the next 24 hours to discuss a loan deal for Snodgrass, but Sunderland would be required to pay the majority of his £70,000-a-week wages.
Sunderland are one of the favourites to land Snodgrass this summer with the likes of Aston Villa and Newcastle also being linked with the former Norwich midfielder, and make use of these free bet offers if you plan on backing a transfer to go through before the window closes.
West Ham will look to replace Snodgrass with Brentford attacker Jota who is valued at £8m by the West London club.
