West Ham United are set to miss out on Manchester City striker Felipe Caicedo due to an admin cock-up.
The Mirror says West Ham boss Avram Grant is desperate to take the 21-year-old Ecuador international - bought for £7.1million two seasons ago - on a season long loan as he remains convinced Caicedo has what it takes to succeed in the Premier League.
The striker had agreed personal terms of £10,000-a-week, passed a medical and looked set to complete the move with an option to seal a permanent move next summer for just £1million.
But Grant is also desperate to sign another right-back - Genoa's Anthony Vanden Borre, whom he had at Portsmouth, on a season long loan.
And The West Ham boss has found he only allowed one of the two players because he already has defender Tal Ben Haim on loan.
