A report in Wednesday’s printed edition of The Daily Mirror (page 46) has explained what is holding up Robert Snodgrass’ move from West Ham United to Aston Villa.

The Daily Mail reported on Tuesday that Villa had made an ‘attractive’ offer to take Snodgrass on loan, with West Ham willing to let him leave only six months after his £10 million transfer from Hull.

But according to The Daily Mirror, the Hammers are yet to be bowled over, with a ‘row over wages’ threatening to scupper the Scotland international’s temporary transfer.

Aston Villa spent the most money on transfers of any Championship club last season – only to finish 13th in the standings.

And while the Villans have been restricted to mostly loan deals and free transfers this summer, the likes of John Terry, Glenn Whelan and Ahmed Elmohamady are unlikely to have come cheap in terms of their salaries – having been Premier League players last season.
