West Ham are set to bring George McCartney back to Upton Park.
McCartney, 30, enjoyed a successful two-year spell with the East London side before he was sold back to former club Sunderland in September 2008.
The Northern Ireland international has failed to find his best form in the North East and was sent on loan to Leeds last season.
West Ham boss Sam Allardyce is keen to bolster his defence and sign another left-back after on-loan Wayne Bridge returned to parent club Manchester City during the summer.
Hammers are hoping that a deal can be finalised this week so McCartney can be available for their next league game against Doncaster on Saturday.
.. Would be a substantial chunk off the wage bill and can be put to much better use. He's never been the same player he was since returning to the SOL, a move elsewhere is best for all!
