Everton step in as West Ham not bothered missing out on Traore

West Ham United aren't panicking over missing out on AS Monaco striker Lacina Traore.

Traore is now set to join Everton on-loan this week.

The Mail on Sunday says despite passing a medical, Traore is not match-fit, having not played since October and has a hamstring problem which could sideline him for up the three weeks.

Although West Ham had successfully applied for a work permit for the Ivory Coast international the club started to get cold feet and couldn't face another situation like the one they have endured with Andy Carroll.
