1 Fabio Borini

Fabio Borini is expected to join West Ham in an £8million deal.

The Italian striker became Brendan Rodgers’ first signing at Anfield when he moved to Merseyside from Roma in 2012 for a fee of around £10.5m.

But he has been a huge disappointment, scoring just three goals in 38 appearances, and has been deemed surplus to requirements by Rodgers.

Now West Ham are reportedly close to clinching a deal for the 24-year-old, who has been capped once by Italy.

The Hammers board have given new boss Slaven Bilic a heatlthy transfer fund and he wants Borini as part of a new-look attack after landing Marseille winger Dimitri Payet in a £10.5m deal.
