West Ham Sign Green

West Ham look to have outmanoeuvered Charlton in the signing of Norwich keeper Robert Green. West Ham have this afternoon issued the following statement,

"We can confirm that we have had a bid accepted by Norwich for England goalkeeper Robert Green. The deal, which could eventually rise to £2million, is still subject to a medical and the player agreeing personal terms."

Green made his England debut against Colombia in May 2000. However the young keeper will miss the start of the season as he is still recovering from the groin problem he picked up playing for England B against Belarus in May and has only recently returned to light training.
