West Ham set to beat Everton in the race for Leeds ace Sam Byram after £3.7m bid

WEST HAM are set to win the race for Sam Byram ahead of Everton.

 

Sam Byram is weighing up his future

 

The right-back has held talks with both Slaven Bilic and Roberto Martinez after Leeds United accepted a £3.7m bid. 

West Ham have offered Byram, 22, the chance to immediately challenge for a first team place starting against Manchester City this weekend.

 

Bilic has been playing James Tomkins at right-back, while Carl Jenkinson is on loan from Arsenal.

Byram is eager to kick-on in his career and while he is aware of Everton’s track record of developing young talent he looks set to have a medical at West Ham in the coming days.

Meanwhile, Norwich are hopeful of completing an £8.5m deal for Steven Naismith after he underwent a medical yesterday.
