West Ham are reportedly set to complete the surprising £8million transfer of Liverpool’s Fabio Borini.

The Hammers are awaiting the arrival of the Italian who is on his way to London to finalise a move.

The Italian flop is demanding a remarkable £100,000-a-week but despite his demands he is expected to complete a switch.

Liverpool are desperate to offload the 24-year-old as they look to fund a move for Aston Villa’s Christian Benteke, according to the Sun.


And with West Ham willing to take Borini off their hands, it could be a good deal for all parties.
