West Ham are set to hold talks with the agent of Swedish international midfielder Jiloan Hamad, according to Sport Bladet.
KUMB.com revealed last month how United were being linked with a move for the 22-year-old, who is out of contract with his current club Malmo at the end of this year. And according to Ferhat Cifci, Hamad's agent and representative, the two parties are set to discuss a potential permanent transfer later today."We will meet to talk with each other and find out how West Ham's offer looks," Cifci told Sport Bladet. "It is a good discussion to get into but nothing is certain until they have agreed terms with Malmo. Therefore, we will not discuss any personal terms.
"If Jiloan continues to play like he did the last time, even bigger clubs than West Ham may become interested. We have plenty of time before the transfer window closes and a new one opens in January."
Hamad, who is primarily employed as a winger has less than six months remaining on the two-year contract he signed with MFF back in 2011 and is therefore allowed to speak to other clubs.
Last season (2012) he scored six goals and contributed nine assists for Malmo in the Allsvenskan, whilst he was an unused substitute in Sweden's famous 4-2 win against England at the Friends Arena in November 2012.
In this year's Allsvenskan (which runs from March 2013 to November 2013), Hamad has already scored five times whilst providing a further four assists from the wing.
