Skysports.com claims West
Ham have agreed a deal to sign Portsmouth defender Tal Ben-Haim.
Portsmouth administrator
Andrew Andronikou revealed earlier this week West Ham were interested in signing the Israel
international, with cash-strapped Pompey keen to offload
Ben-Haim.
Ben Haim was left behind as Portsmouth travelled to America for a pre-season
tour so that he could sort his future out.
West Ham boss Avram Grant is
a big admirer of Ben-Haim and is keen to be reunited with the
central defender, but it was feared his personal demands could
scupper the deal.
