Reiss Nelson and the West Ham links

Let’s begin this morning with stories linking Reiss Nelson with a move to West Ham.

Apparently the player has agreed to the deal, and it’s now down to the two clubs to sort out the details. Which sounds promising, I suppose, but that part about the two clubs is kinda a big deal. There are loads of players who, via back-channels and agent/sporting director conversations, have agreed to join a particular club, but unfortunately the deals fall down in trivial details like transfer fee, sell-on clauses, commissions, wages, and so on.
