West Ham centre-back Ajibola Alese is on his way to Accrington Stanley.

He will moe on loan until January, says Sky Sports.

The 18-year-old attracted interest from Championship side West Brom earlier in the summer, but the size of the loan fee put them off a deal. Alese, who has been capped by England at U16 and U17 level, is yet to make a senior appearance for West Ham.

He is highly-rated by the West Ham academy and they are keen for him to gain experience out on loan. The Hammers will have the option to review the deal in January.
