Trevor Sinclair has taken to Twitter to bid farewell to Robert Snodgrass, amid talk of the Scot leaving West Ham to join West Brom.

Sky Sports revealed earlier today that the former Leeds man will be linking up with ex-Hammers boss Sam Allardyce at the Hawthorns.

That is subject to a medical and the relevant paperwork being completed.

The 33-year-old will sign an 18-month contract with the Baggies, and will be immediately thrust into a relegation scrap.

After hearing the news about Snodgrass, Sinclair tweeted the following.

Despite being surplus to requirements this season, it is clear that the midfielder holds a place in the West Ham supporters’ hearts.

Some were devastated when hearing the initial rumours break yesterday, in a fan reaction piece written by us.

Despite his lack of action this term, Snodgrass – who earns £40,000-a-week – has still done a lot for the club since his £10.2 million move from Hull.

In 85 appearances for the east Londoners, the Glasgow-born midfielder has scored 11 goals while also registering 17 assists.

The London Stadium faithful’s admiration for the former Norwich maestro is encapsulated by Sinclair in his tweet.

In our view, the West Ham icon speaks for most Hammers fans when wishing Snodgrass all the best.

The Scot has always acted professionally and with dignity since arriving from the Tigers.
