Marco Borriello - West Ham

West Ham have secured the loan signing of Roma striker Marco Borriello until the end of the season.

The 31-year-old becomes the second Italian to sign for the Hammers today following the arrival of AC Milan’s Antonio Nocerino in a similar loan move.

Borriello began his career at AC Milan in 2002, scoring 18 goals in 54 appearances until 2010, while also enjoying loan spells five other Italian clubs.

In August 2010 he joined Roma in a free transfer and has since had loan spells with Juventus and Genoa.

Borriello’s experience will vital to West Ham’s Premier League survival chances and Allardyce will see him as the perfect man to help ease the pressure and expectation laid upon club-record signing Andy Carroll.

Antonio Nocerino - West Ham

West Ham have secured the signing of AC Milan midfielder Antonio Nocerino on loan until the end of the season.

The 28-year-old Italian international has been brought in by Sam Allardyce to help the club pull away from the relegation zone.

And Nocerino’s experience should prove vital to the Hammers’ efforts to staying in the Premier League, having played for the likes of Juventus and Palermo, as well as for Italy in Euro 2012.

Nocerino began his career at Juventus in 2003 and made just 32 appearances for them during a spell that saw him loaned out to six different clubs.

In 2008 Nocerino moved to Palermo in a €7.5million deal. He went on to make 106 appearances for Rosanero, scoring six goals, helping them qualifying for the Europa League.

And Nocerino made a dramatic transfer deadline swith to AC Milan in August 2011 for a mere €500,000, going on to score 12 goals in 71 Serie A appearances before his arrival in East London.

Here’s what the fans have said about his arrival on Twitter…

Raoul Loe - Osasuna

Reports in Spain suggest West Ham are in talks with Osasuna defensive midfielder Raoul Loe ahead of €2.2million move.

The 24-year Cameroon international is thought to be in London to have talks and a medical with the Hammers and is Sam Allardyce’s pick to replace the injured Mohamed Diame.

Diame has been an inconsistent performer this season after a successful debut campaign last year and, following increased speculation of a January move away from the club, looks set for a prolonged injury lay-off after he was stretched off against Manchester City at Upton Park on Tuesday night.

And Loe, who is a player of similar ilk to Diame, is expected to put pen-to-paper on a permanent deal at the club, with West Ham paying €1.1million up front and another €1.1million in the summer.

Loe has made just seven La Liga appearances for Osasuna this season, while last season he netted twice in 23 appearances.

Here’s what West Ham fans think of the potential move…

Roma striker Marco Borriello has dropped a huge hint that he is ready to complete his move to West Ham this weekend.

The 31-year-old is reportedly in London this weekend for a medical ahead of six-month loan move and it is believed the club are close to announcing his signature.

And after weeks of January Transfer Window disappointment for West Ham, the time appears to have finally arrived to celebrating the signing of an actual STRIKER.

The Italian, who has scored just one goal in 11 Serie A appearances this season, tweeted a message of thanks to Roma and its fans last night before following West Ham’s official West Ham Twitter account:

As things stand, there are no signs of a late bid to hijack the move from Everton. Not yet, anyway.

Hammers bid for Championship goal machine?

Ross McCormack - Leeds United

West Ham made an official bid for Leeds United captain Ross McCormack, according to Sky Sports.

The 27-year-old is the Championship’s top-scorer with 18 goals so far this season and is reportedly a target for a host of Premier League clubs.

But Leeds tied him down to a four-year contract in the summer following approaches from Blackpool and Middlesbrough, seemingly boosting his value.

But with the Hammers battling relegation in the Premier League, it is thought Sam Allardyce sees the Scotland International as an important addition to his squad as he prepares for a number of difficult fixtures in the tail end of the season.

It is not yet known how much the Hammers have offered Leeds for McCormack’s services but, if they can manage to lure him away from Elland Road, he’d certainly be a welcome boost to what has been a misfiring West Ham attack this season.

Here’s how fans reacted to the news on Twitter…
