West Ham man undergoes medical

Last updated : 06 July 2007 By Pancho Villa

The 23-year-old is expected to sign an £8m deal though the London club were said to be holding out for a fee nearer the £10m mark. The midfielder cost £500,000 when he moved from Wimbledon in 2004 and became disenfranchised with the club when supporters and critics turned on him during the Hammers' slump, hading in a transfer request at the end of last season. Reo-Coker's addition will come at a welcome time for Martin O'Neill who is currently light in midfield with Gavin McCann having moved to Bolton and Steven Davis set to join Fulham.
