Fletcher signed for West Ham from United

West Ham have finally agreed a £1m deal for Ashley Fletcher - and that should give lift off to his Premier League career.

Fletcher was a free agent when he joined from Manchester United last year and the deal was heading towards being decided by a tribunal.

But West Ham have now made a fresh offer and that may now also allow Slaven Bilic to pick the 21-year-old striker on a more regular basis, reports the Mirror.

Fletcher has started just two Premier League games for West Ham despite scoring at Old Trafford in the League Cup earlier in the season and regular games could have pushed his price up.

England under-20s starlet Fletcher has been desperate to play and lift West Ham's fight against relegation as well as ease their striker shortage.
