WINDOW WATCH

▪ WEST HAM striker Sebastien Haller has agreed to join Ajax in a £22million deal. Haller, who became the most expensive player in West Ham’s history when he moved from Eintracht Frankfurt 18 months ago for £45m, passed a medical last night and has agreed a four-and-a-half year contract. Though the fee is expected to be spread over four years, manager David Moyes hopes to spend funds on a new striker with BOURNEMOUTH’S Josh King, out of contract in the summer, still a target. Chelsea’s Olivier Giroud has also been considered but a move for Lyon’s Moussa Dembele is unlikely.

▪ WEST BROM will complete Sam Allardyce’s first signing with the capture of West Ham’s Robert Snodgrass today on an 18-month contract and will add a second signing in the shape of goalkeeper Andy Lonergan. The 37-year-old, who had been on a short-term contract at Stoke, has been signed as cover with Jonathan Bond discussing a move to LA GALAXY.

▪ CRYSTAL PALACE are willing to let Max Meyer go this window. Cologne have shown an interest in the 25-year-old midfielder. Defender Mamadou Sakho is discussing a move to Nice.

▪ QPR are in talks to sign striker Glenn Murray, 37, on loan. Murray has made only one appearance on loan at Watford from Brighton.

▪ LEICESTER CITY goalkeeper Daniel Iversen has joined Preston on loan. STOKE have confirmed the signing of Rabbi Matondo on loan from Schalke. ROTHERHAM are keen on Hibernian’s Polish goalkeeper Kevin Dabrowski, 22, who has been recalled from a loan at Dumbarton.
