Hammers closing in on £10.75m Jarvis

West Ham United are hoping to conclude the signing of Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Matt Jarvis in time for tomorrow’s Premier League match at Swansea.

The 26-year-old England international could become the most expensive signing in West Ham’s history if the finishing touches are put to a reported £10.75 million deal, including add-ons. “From my point of view it is a big piece of business – a quality young man who has got a lot of qualities,” said Hammers boss Sam Allardyce.
