Marlon Harewood is set for talks with Aston Villa after West Ham United accepted a £3.7m bid for his services.

Harewood - who joined the Hammers in 2004 - has been linked with a move to Birmingham and Wigan, but Villa have swooped after neither managed to agree a deal with United.

Villa boss Martin O'Neill, who has already signed Nigel Reo-Coker from the Hammers, said this afternoon:

"We've been given the go ahead to speak to the player - and we'll take it from there."

West Ham United: business so far

INS: Scott Parker (Newcastle United £7m); Julien Faubert (Bordeaux £6.1m); Richard Wright (Everton, free); Craig Bellamy (Liverpool £7.5m) - Total £20.6m.

OUTS: Teddy Sheringham (released); Roy Carroll (released); Shaun Newton (Leicester City, free); Tyrone Mears (Derby County, £1m); Nigel Reo-Coker (Aston Villa, £8.5m); Paul Konchesky (Fulham, £2m) - Total £11.5m (Tevez fee tbc).
