Further details of West Ham Cummings deal revealed
West Ham entered the transfer window needing to add firepower and have made the first step with Cummings.
The teenager’s future at Celtic Park had been up in the air for several months, with his deal due to expire this summer, with a pre-contract eventually agreed with the Irons.

Cummings has already passed his medical at the London Stadium, and Anthony Joseph has now reported that a four-year deal has been finalised.
The Hammers and Potter need more strikers
While Cummings is a man with vast potential, he is not the answer for now.
The Hammers need numbers in attack, with Michail Antonio still recovering and likely not to be rushed after his horrific car accident.
Furthermore, Evan Ferguson, who was on loan from Brighton, will return to the AMEX Stadium after a forgettable spell with the Irons.
Of course, West Ham possess the lethal Jarrod Bowen, but he cannot be expected to carry Potter’s side forever and needs help.
Liam Delap was a man linked with a move to the London Stadium, but it appears he has agreed to join Chelsea instead, after Ipswich were relegated.
West Ham will not want to fall to the back of the queue and have some work to do to identify the right man to drive the London club forward.
