Swansea City are to hold a press conference this morning at which it could be announced that Gavin Williams is to join the club on-loan for the season.
Former Hereford United player, Williams moved to West Ham last season from Yeovil for a reported £250,000 but has been unable to get in the first team on a regular basis.
Swansea chairman, Hugh Jenkins, has admitted that they would like to sign Williams.
"We will keep pursuing it. Gavin wants to come to us and we want to sign him. The only stumbling block is Alan Pardew.
"He has said the player can go out on loan somewhere, but he has made it known to us that he would like him to play for a Championship side.
"A lot of Premiership sides think like that - they want to see what the players might be able to do for them in the future. It's a similar case to the one we had with Darren Pratley and Fulham.
"We think West Ham are going to make a final decision this week and, until he signs for someone else, nothing will be dead and buried as far as we're concerned."
