32-year-old Peruvian midfielder Nolberto Solano, who joined Newcastle United in 2005, making 58 appearances and scored 8 goals for The Magpies, joined The Hammers late on the evening of the transfer deadline.

Nolberto Solano is going to West Ham on a one-year transfer deal (with the option of another year) after Newcastle's boss Sam Allardyce allowed the move to take place.

Some unconfirmed rumours say that Allardyce has given the go-ahead for the transfer to take place after discussions with Bolton's Abdoulaye Faye, who is most likely Solano's replacement.
