Ashton joins West Ham

DEAN ASHTON has agreed personal terms with West Ham and will sign after undergoing a medical at Upton Park today.

Ashton earlier revealed the chance to return to the Premiership was “too good to turn down” after the Hammers agreed a £7.25m deal with Norwich for the England U21 international.

West Ham will pay £7m plus a conditional £250,000 while a 15% sell-on clause has also been negotiated.
