Bowyer in West Ham talks

The Hammers have confirmed that they have agreed an undisclosed fee for the England midfielder, and contract talks with their MD Paul Aldridge are to take place today.

"We have agreed terms in principle with Leeds and are expecting the player down some time today," said Aldridge.

"We need to sit and talk with Lee and hopefully we will then be in a position to take it further, tie up the loose ends and thrash out a contract as soon as possible."
