Parker poised to sign new deal at West Ham

Scott Parker is finally set to agree a new five-year contract with West Ham.

Parker, 29, was strongly linked with a £7m move to Tottenham during the summer, but the club turned down an offer from the north London club and were adamant he was staying at Upton Park.

Tottenham were accused by West Ham of trying to unsettle the player, but Harry Redknapp hit back saying the east London club made it public that they had made an offer.

Parker was offered a new five-year deal, but hesitated in putting pen to paper and West Ham feared he could depart before the transfer window closed.

But the window closed without West Ham having to sell any of their key players and Parker is now expected to pledge his long-term future to the club.
