Luis Boa Morte is expected to wrap up his £5million switch to
West Ham later on Friday with Matthew Etherington joining
Fulham.
The Cottagers' captain was believed to be at Upton Park on Thursday
undergoing a medical with Alan Curbishley's side after a deal
between the sides was struck according to widespread reports in the
English media.
Fulham have been loath to lose Boa Morte in the past having
rejected offers from Newcastle United for his services back in the
summer of 2005.
However, manager Chris Coleman has deemed the former Southampton
and Arsenal man expendable following an injury-hit campaign.
The Welsh tactician has offset the loss of the left-sided man after
reportedly securing former Spurs and Peterborough winger
Etherington.
The 25-year-old has been a regular for The Hammers this term, but
has been allowed to leave in order to move Boa Morte across
London.
