Elmo in talks with West Ham

Sunderland’s Egyptian winger Ahmed Elmohamady is in talks with West Ham United and looks likely to complete a move to Upton Park in the near future.

The versatile right-sided player is currently on international duty with Egypt but will commence talks with the Premier League new-boys upon his return.

Elmohamady, 24, has not featured in Martin O’Neill’s plans since the Ulsterman took over and a £1.5m asking price has been set for the ENPPI man.
