Kiwi Reid Set to Sign with West Ham

According to 3news.co.nz Winston Reid is the 'young international' that West Ham yesterday said was set to sign for the club in the next 72 hours.

The New Zealand defender currently plays for Danish club F Midjylland. 3news claim that West Ham and F Midjylland have already agreed on a fee and all that's required now is for Reid to agree personal terms and complete a medical.

In his Wikipedia entry Reid is described as a centre back and although born in New Zealand has lived in Denmark since the age of 10.
