Behrami nears West Ham move
The sale of John Pantsil appears to have made way for the arrival of Lazio right back Valon Behrami from Italian side Lazio, as West Ham completed the signing of the Swiss international late on Tuesday evening.
The player now just has a medical to complete in London, and is expected to sign a four year deal at Upton Park.
Behrami started all of Switzerland's Euro 2008 matches; and is set to move to the Hammers and activate a transfer clause whereby the club will only have to pay a small fraction of the asking price of Lazio.
It is believed that West Ham will pay in the region of £3.5 million for the defender.
