Out of favour striker Titi Camara has confirmed that he will be joining Saudi side Al-Ittihad for the remainder of the season.
Camara, speaking earlier today confirmed that he had accepted the offer from Al-Ittihad. He is due to fly out later today to begin a six-month loan spell.Hammers boss Glenn Roeder said of the move:
"We've given Titi the opportunity to go to Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad; I'm glad he took it because he needs first-team football."
Whereas Camara - whose contract at Upton Park expires in the summer of 2004 - said:
"I was sidelined in the latest league fixtures at West Ham only to comply with the manager's technical choices.
"I came here searching for a new challenge. I am aware Al-Ittihad boast a reservoir of talented strikers up front, but am also sure of my own capabilities.
"I have vast experience to put at the disposal of the side when needed."
And a vast waistline to go with it, judging by recent appearances ...
