West Ham United's compensation settlement with Sheffield United is greater than first thought, it has been revealed.
The Guardian says according to a source involved in the negotiations, West Ham could end up paying a total of £26.5m in compensation. They put the much-disputed total value of the deal at £21.5m, payable in staggered instalments until 2013. If the club is sold for more than £95m, West Ham will have to pay a further £5m.
