West Ham United are moving for Middlesbrough striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni.

The Sun says Hammers boss Alan Curbishley wants to prise striker Yakubu, 24, away from Middlesbrough with a £10m bid.

Boro boss Gareth Southgate has already lost Mark Viduka to Newcastle and is desperate keep hold of the Nigerian.

But Curbishley is ready to offer Yakubu £65,000 a week.

Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp is also keen on Yakubu.

He wants to take the striker back to Fratton Park but is unlikely to be able to compete financially with the Hammers.

Yakubu isn't a bad player. He has been in the top 10 top scorers list each season since he joined Portsmouth. Also, despite not scoring for the last 3 months of the season, he still managed to get more than your top scorer, Zamora.

Would be a good purchase for West Ham.

Zamora didn't make it in the prem really. Can't help but remember reading in another clubs program the chant
"When the ball hits your head and you sit in row Z it's Zamoooora"

Damn right. I think its time he left now. He doesn't seem to want to be here and if thats the case then we dont need him.
