West Ham confirm Robert Snodgrass capture for £10million

Robert Snodgrass has signed for West Ham in a £10million deal that sees him swap Hull for east London.

With his departure from Hull virtually a certainty, the 29-year-old underwent a medical earlier on Friday after the Hammers convinced him the London Stadium was the best place to further his career.

The TIgers had also accepted bids of around £10m from Burnley , while Middlesbrough had also made an offer for the Scotland international.

Snodgrass becomes the club's second signing of the January window, following Jose Fonte from Southampton. The Scottish international has scored seven goals and laid on three more in 20 Premier League games in the Tigers top-flight return.

With the deal all but done on Thursday night, Hull boss Marco Silva confirmed Snodgrass' impending departure after his side's aggregate defeat in the EFL Cup semi-final.

Silva said: 'I know the (West Ham) deal is close. It's possible in the next few hours.

'The player hasn't trained with the team and is not available after the club did this deal with West Ham, and we need to find solutions to strengthen our team.'

Snodgrass missed Hull's Thursday-night EFL Cup semi-final second-leg clash with Manchester United at the KCOM Stadium.

He has not trained with the rest of Marco Silva's squad this week after a knee injury kept him out of Sunday's Premier League defeat at Chelsea.

The midfielder is Hull's top goalscorer this season with nine goals, including seven in the Premier League. He has also offered up three assists in the league.
