It has been reported by Manchester Evening News that Wayne Bridge looks set to join West Ham on loan until the end of the season.
Bridge, who has endured a frustrating campaign at The Blues this season with only one start all season, has previously expressed his desire to leave the club. The former Chelsea left-back has fallen out of favour this season and is now behind Alexandar Kolarov, Pablo Zabaleta and Jerome Boateng in the pecking order.
Blues boss Mancini said today: “Bridge I think today is in London for a medical.”
Hammers boss Avram Grant is thought to be desperate for a left-back, having lost his only specialist left-back Herita llunga to a long term injury. The Metro have reported that for the duration of the loan spell The Hammers will have to pay all of Bridge’s £90,000 per week wages. West Ham were reluctant to make a permanent move for a player with such high wages, with there being uncertainty surrounding their Premier League future.
