West Ham coach Clarke to become best paid No2 in country

Steve Clarke is set to become the highest paid lieutenant in the Premier League.

The Sun says Gianfranco Zola and Clarke will sign new mega-bucks four-year deals next week.

West Ham boss Zola has agreed a £1.6million- a-year contract, while Clarke will become the Premier League's highest paid assistant with a £1m wage packet.

The pay days are the former Chelsea pair's reward for turning the Hammers into European contenders in their first season.
