Some West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to react after hearing that West Brom are trying to take Robert Snodgrass from them.

According to Sky Sports, the Scotland international is in advanced talks to join Sam Allardyce’s side, having been offered a permanent contract.

The former England manager tried to sign the set-piece specialist during his time at Crystal Palace, as the Guardian revealed.

However, he eventually left Hull to join West Ham in a deal worth £10.2 million.

Premier League clubs are allowed two domestic loans, one of which is currently being occupied by Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher.

That should be good news for the Hawthorns faithful, as he will know what’s required to keep West Brom’s head above water.
