West Ham are close to signing Wolfsburg’s Emmanuel Pogatetz who was pictured at the club today to undergo a medical.
The former Middlesbrough defender would join on loan for the rest of the season would an option to buy at the end of the season.
West Ham are also close to agreeing a deal with Blackburn Rovers for Martin OIsson, the fee would be £4.5 million with the potential to rise to £5 million depending on add-ons.
If BFS can get Warnock back to his best he could be a handy squad player as he can play in midfield. Pogatetz is a tough centre half but how old is he?
