West Ham Close to �7m Chamakh Deal

WEST Ham's striker troubles could be at an end as Zola is confident an agreement has been met.

The club is rumored to have raised the required �7million and a 20% sell-on cause could seal the deal. A 5-year-contract has been offered to the Moroccan International and he is said to be interested in a move after negotiations with Arsenal broke down.

West Ham are currently short on cash but are rumored to be raising funds with the sale of James Collins to Aston Villa.

Matthew Upson has been given a �13million price tag and could also be on his way out of the club.
