West Ham United and West Bromwich Albion could both benefit from swapping the two players.

Baggies winger Nacer Chadli’s future at the Hawthorns seems uncertain to say the least, and the Hammers should swoop in and make a move for the Belgian this summer.

In order to steal a march on their rivals in the race to sign the 27-year-old, West Ham could offer Robert Snodgrass to West Brom in return, after the Scot has failed to settle in east London.

Chadli would be an excellent signing for the Hammers, and his ability to produce a moment of magic at the drop of a hat is exactly what Slaven Bilic needs, following Dimitri Payet’s acrimonious exit from the club in January.

The former Spurs man can play anywhere along the front-line, and can even be deployed as an auxiliary centre-forward, if need be.

And the positive impact that Chadli would surely have at the London Stadium would be matched by the one Snodgrass would likely have at the Hawthorns.

Despite struggling during the six months he has been with West Ham, the 29-year-old winger still has plenty of quality, and his attributes make him the perfect fit for West Brom.

The fact that he is a set-piece specialist would surely appeal to Pulis, what with the emphasis he places on set plays.

The two players are seemingly not wanted by their respective clubs anymore, and with their values being similar, a straight swap deal could be the ideal solution for all parties concerned.
