West Ham look set to finally offer Hull City a deal which will eventually reach their asking price for Crystal Palace target Robert Snodgrass, according to a report by Matt Law of The Telegraph.

The Tigers have reportedly been holding out for £10m for the Scottish winger and West Ham are apparently gong to bid £8m plus performance-related add-ons that will see the fee eventually become £10m.

Whether Hull deem this as acceptable remains to be seen as they could simply be looking for £10m straight up rather than a deal that relies on add-ons.

However, this does show that the Hammers are willing to spend £10m on the player so it is not beyond the realms of possibility that they could decide to offer the amount without add-ons if that’s what the Tigers request.

Crystal Palace will have to act fast if they hope to beat West Ham to Snodgrass’ signature. Now Hull have signed Lazar Markovic on loan from Liverpool, they may feel like they now have an adequate replacement if they do let Snodgrass leave and the transfer could move along quickly.

The Eagles would have to free up funds through a player sale – either Andros Townsend or Yohan Cabaye –  in order to complete a transfer for the 29-year-old.
