Transfer Rumours

West Ham have again been linked with ex-Hammer Glen Johnson. Glen Johnson is amongst a handful of frustrated Chelsea players that Mourinho has given permission to leave. Wigan and West Ham United are rumoured to be chasing St Etienne defender Fousseni Diawarra. In the opposite direction, Norwich are reportedly keen to sign West Ham's Clive Clarke.

Newcastle are today reported to be after ex-West Ham forward Defoe. This seems to be more realistic than their reported bid for Ashton. Defoe has been spent much of the season on the bench this season and with Tottenham's signing of Berbatov this week and Defoe missing out on the world cup it seems that a move would be welcomed by both club and player.
