West Ham are to push ahead with the appointment of Tim Steidten as their new technical director. The German emerged as the leading candidate last week only for doubts to emerge over whether his arrival would be finalised. Insiders had insisted it had a 50% chance of going through last Friday.
However it is understood that the deal is on the verge of being agreed, handing West Ham a boost as they gear up for a busy summer in the transfer window. Steidten, who left Bayer Leverkusen in March, has made a positive impression during several rounds of talks and has met West Ham’s manager, David Moyes, on at least two occasions.
