SNODDY’S ON HIS BIKE NOW

- EXCLUSIVE BY JOHN CROSS

WEST HAM are ready to offload Robert Snodgrass – just six months after signing him for £10million.

Scotland midfielder Snodgrass, 29, struggled to make a big impact at the London Stadium after arriving from relegation-bound Hull in January.

Hammers boss Slaven Bilic is now set to cut his losses.

And he is also ready to have a mini shake-up in an attempt to clear the decks to finance new signings.

Bilic is prepared to listen to offers for Algeria internatio­nal Sofiane Feghouli (right), who struggled to make an impact after arriving on a free transfer 12 months ago.

West Ham are keen to cash in on Enner Valencia – despite turning down an offer from Mexican side Tigres.

Ecuador forward Valencia, 27, spent last season on loan at Everton after originally arriving from Mexican side Pachuca for £12.5m in 2014. But it is the potential departure of Snodgrass, who signed a three-and-ahalf-year contract, that catches the eye – even though Bilic often started matches with him on the bench. They will look to recoup their £10m on him but, realistica­lly, could well have to take a financial hit. Snodgrass turned down Middlesbro­ugh and Burnley in January but has struggled to settle in London. Now newly-promoted Brighton could come in for him. West Ham have some ambitious targets with Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud the big name on their summer shopping list and Bilic under pressure to improve their transfer dealings.
