West Ham United are aiming to complete a sensational deal for Manchester City and England defender Joleon Lescott. Earlier in the window the two clubs reached an agreement on the players services, according to the Telegraph, but the wages could provide a stumbling block. Assistant manager Neil McDonald spoke earlier this week, taking the place of Hammers boss Sam Allardyce who was busy with transfer business, and remained coy on a potential deal for Lescott. However, the news has heated up today and West Ham are hopeful of completing the deal before the window slams shut later this evening at 11pm. The sticking point now, according to Sky Sports News is wages, but talks remain ongoing. One deal that has been completed, according to Sky Sports News is the loan deal for Pablo Armero from Napoli. The Italian club have confirmed that the ful-back has signed for the Londoners, despite Sam Allardyce's attempt to deflect attention from the player when interviewed on Sky Sports News.
