West Ham prepare move for Dani Osvaldo

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce is preparing a surprise move for Argentinian striker Dani Osvaldo. The Southampton man has been told that he is free to leave in the January transfer window.

After a controversial training ground bust up with team mate Jose Forte last week, Osvaldo received a two week suspension and will be missing from action. Following that, Mauricio Pellegrino the Saints' manager, has reportedly told him that he can transfer elsewhere. Numerous teams have expressed some interest in the striker, but the Hammers are believed to be in pole position to secure a deal.
