£6million man: Kieron Dyer is heading to the
capital
Kieron Dyer held talks with West Ham yesterday after
Newcastle finally accepted the club's £6m bid for the midfielder.
Dyer had been expected to join West Ham last week but Newcastle
pulled the plug on the deal at the last minute.
Boss Alan Curbishley revived the deal on Monday and the England
international is expected to move to Upton Park after negotiations
continued with the player and Newcastle, who are hoping for £2m
more based on appearances.
Portsmouth now seem unlikely to pursue their bid to sign Newcastle
winger Nolberto Solano. The Peruvian is keen to move closer to his
family in London but the resurrection of Dyer's move to West Ham
has ruled out a switch to Upton Park. Solano, 32, attracted
interest from Spain but has vowed to stay at St James' Park if he
cannot get a move to a Premier League club in the south.
