West Ham Offering £2 million for Steed

According to today's Times West Ham have agreed a £2 million with Fulham for Steed Malbranque. The paper claims the player would prefer to play for the Spuds, who have not yet met the asking price or his £40,000 a week wage demand.

Another problem with the player is his injury problem that may well require an operation that would keep him sidelined for up to three months.
