West Ham face a busy week ahead as they seek to bolster their squad for the relegation battle that lies ahead but an exciting boost looks to be right around the corner.

The Express reports that the Hammers are set to finally agree a deal with Newcastle United to bring Jonjo Shelvey to the club for £12m, providing a significant boost to both squads.

Newcastle are also looking to improve their ranks in the January transfer window but lack the finances to complete deals, whilst West Ham are desperately looking to improve their midfield options for the challenges that lie ahead.

West Ham have been eyeing the services of the England international throughout the January window but have struggled to negotiate a deal, though it appears that there is finally a breakthrough in discussions.

The Hammers would benefit from the ability that Shelvey possesses and he’d certainly be an upgrade on Moyes’ current options.
