It remains to be seen whether Keane will agree to those terms but his options are limited if he wants to play. If the 30 year-old fails to sign then West Ham will turn to Stoke City’s Tuncay Sanli, who would cost £4.5 million, and are also expecting to complete the loan signing of Hoffenheim striker Demba Ba before the weekend. A £500,000 loan fee will be paid for the 25 year-old Senegalese forward but as he has failed two medicals — one at Stoke and one at West Ham — the deal has become complicated. However, Avram Grant yesterday said the deal was “almost done”. If West Ham sign Ba as well as Keane it will raise questions over the future of the club’s other strikers, notably Carlton Cole, who is expected to lead the line this evening with Frederic Piquionne and Victor Obinna suspended FAILED TWO MEDICALSsounds perfect...
