West Ham United midfielder Nigel Quashie is set to join MK Dons.
The Mail on Sunday says the Hammers will continue to pay £20,000-a-week in wages to unwanted midfielder Quashie when he joins MK Dons on loan this week.
Quashie will join Paul Ince's League One club after the Hammers agreed to carry on paying all but a small percentage of his £21,000-a-week salary.
The arrangement will stun West Ham fans whose club have been in dire financial straits since their Icelandic owners were badly hit by the international banking collapse.
