Joseph Yobo's proposed move to West Ham has collapsed, SL10.ng has been specially informed by the agent thrashing out terms with the powers that be at the Londoners.
West Ham had earmarked the former Nigeria skipper as one of the defensive targets they hoped to sign at zero cost after being faced with a defensive crisis.
Indeed, defenders Winston Reid and James Collins have both been struggling with hamstring complaints in recent days, and it is all but confirmed that they will sit out Wednesday's Premier League clash against Southampton.
It is noteworthy that The Hammers did not table a contract offer to Joseph Yobo as they did not want to put the cart before the horse.
To put it another way, the Boleyn Ground outfit had wanted to discuss with the central defender before drawing up an agreement in black and white.
The response from Joseph Yobo's camp was negative, meaning West Ham need to turn their attention to other targets.
Assuming the transfer materialized, it would have been his third club in England, having previously defended the colours of Everton and Norwich City.
