West Ham After Arca

West Ham are believed to be one of a number of clubs keen to sign Julio Arca. Alan Pardew might try to head off interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Fulham and Portsmouth by making the first move for the left-sided Argentinian.

Whilst Sunderland's finances are secure and they do not need to sell players it is understood they would not stand in Arca's way if he decides to leave. The 24-year-old is keen to break into the Argentinian squad and is not keen on the physical nature of the Championship.
