West Ham eye move for centre back Ba but hold worries over work permit

West Ham scouts watched him but worry he may not qualify for a work permit.

West Ham & Swansea To Snap Up Spurs Super Duo?
After Spurs failed to qualify for the Champions League :lol: this season, the club have to carefully consider the long term plans of certain players in order to reduce their wage bill and invest it into their summer purchases.
Two players who are extremely likely to leave the North London side this summer are Louis Saha and Giovani Dos Santos.
The release of Saha has been met with the rumour that their London rivals, West Ham, are looking to snap up the star on a free agent. However, with nothing official coming from Louis Saha’s Twitter page nor the Tottenham website, it is unknown if the French international is going to join another Premiership side anytime soon.
But if he is to leave, should he go to West Ham? With the Championship side being promoted last season in the play-off final to secure a position in the forthcoming Premier League season, the Hammers have a lot more money to spend on wages as well as transfers. But with this proven goalscorer being available on a free transfer, this signing wouldn’t damage the bank too badly.
However, the injury prone striker has had his career damaged with constant games out due to health fears consisting of muscle tears, damaged ankles and ligament strains.
Saha scores 1 goal every 3 games on average scoring 42 goals in 120 appearances for Manchester United , and 3 goals out of 9 for Tottenham Hotspur. But, even without Saha’s goals this season, the club would have received the same amount of points and still would have finished fourth, which questions his ability to score important goals.

Wait and see if Saha was going to any other club he would be a free transfer but because we are sniffing around the filth will demand a fee.
