Newcastle midfielder Kieron Dyer will earn a massive £12 million from his move to West Ham.

The Sun says the England midfielder is to finalise a £6m switch from Newcastle today that will net him £80,000 a week over the next three years.

Dyer, 28, has been keen to seal a return south to be nearer his two children. But the move to Upton Park looked in doubt after the clubs were unable to agree a fee.

Last night, though, the Geordies dropped their £8m valuation and the transfer was on.
