West Ham Transfer Rumours

Shakhtar Donetsk goalkeeper Jan Lastuvka has passed a medical with West Ham so an official announcement of him joining the club on a year's loan should be imminent.

Long time West Ham target Nickey Shorey seems set to leave Reading next week. Steve Coppell says that Reading have turned down an offer last week but expect their valuation of the player to be met next week. He refused however to name which club had made the offer.

"We had a good talk yesterday, there was a little bit of interest last week and the chances are he will be gone by next week. I am 60-40 convinced that he will be gone."
