West Ham have agreed a compensation package with Chelsea for Data Analyst Kyle Macaulay, its been reported by ExWHUEmployee.

The club have been in negotiations with the west Londoners for a number of weeks, with Potter making clear he was someone he wanted at West Ham to work with, as he did at former clubs including Brighton.

Our insider has now reported that the club have struck a deal with Chelsea for Macaulay to head to the east end of the capital, with a formal announcement expected within the coming days.

Ex, who provided this update on this weeks Podcast with Dave Walker, has said that this move will undoubtedly put the future of Tim Steidten at West Ham in doubt, following a difficult season so far which has seen the club part ways with Julen Lopetegui and his backroom team.

Further clarity on the situation will be provided on the Podcast with further updates expected in due course, along with transfer news this January window.
