West Ham Confirm Behrami Approach

Gianluca Nani has confirmed that West Ham are hoping to sign Swiss international Valon Behrami. However, whilst it had been reported that West Ham were hoping to pick Behrami up on the cheap, Nani said they were not looking for Nani to buy out his contract.

"I hope the negotiation will be concluded," Nani told the Italian press. "We have worked to do what is possible for a solution that doesn't consider Fifa article 17."

West Ham are believed to be ready to pay a fee in the region of £5.2million to sign Behrami.
