Williams sold for £250,000
Gavin Williams has been sold to West Ham from Yeovil according to the Western Daily Press. The ex-Hereford United player will make the move subject to a fitness test possibly today.
Yeovil Town and West Ham have agreed a fee in the region of £250,000 for midfielder Gavin Williams.
The deal is also thought to involve a clause that will see Yeovil receive extra payments if and when Williams plays an undisclosed number of games for the Hammers.
Manager Gary Johnson said: "It's difficult to say too much before everything goes through but when a club like West Ham comes in for a player, and they make a professional approach and they do offer a good fee, we can't stand in a player's way."
The former Hereford man missed five games through injury earlier this season but is now fully fit.
If Williams makes a success of his Upton Park move he is likely to earn a place in the full Wales squad, following the retirement of several senior players.
As yet West Ham have not officially commented, but a source close to the club has given some details about the proposed move.
"Although there is nothing concrete to report, the manager was in negotiations with an unfamiliar person during the second half of the Hammers reserve game last
night. Obviously, it's not 100% certain that person was connected to Gavin
Williams. But we'll know soon enough because tomorrow is Press Day at the
Hammers."
Hereford United have not confirmed that they will receive anything from the deal, but if reports at the time were correct then the Bulls may collect around 25% from the transfer. The amount involved could be around £60,000.
