Negotiations have been prolonged through the summer but a breakthrough has been reached this week. West Ham will pay an initial £37m and add-ons are set to make the deal worth £40m. The progress being made has even led the Hammers to apply for a work permit for Anderson, the Daily Mail says. Their is optimism a move will be completed by the end of the week as personal terms will not be an issue.
