As reported by Jason Burt of the Telegraph, West Ham expect to sign an alternative for Harry Maguire in the next 24 hours.

The Hammer’s grew tired of the time it was taking to complete the Maguire deal. A £30million fee was agreed, but a deal has not moved forward.

Maguire is waiting on a pay-off from Manchester United due to the pay cut he will take at West Ham. Until that situation is resolved, the player will not be going anywhere.

Deal in jeopardy, Maguire likely to stay.
