Two Ex-West Ham players have found new clubs in the past couple of days.
Papa Bouba Diop has signed a one-month deal with Birmingham city after agreeing terms and passing a medical. The 34 year old impressed on trial at St.Andrews and manager Lee Clark says they will greatly benefit from the experience that Diop brings to the squad.
The midfielder was deemed surplus to requirements at Upton Park after being released in the summer upon his contract expiring. He made 16 appearances last season scoring 1 goal in a 1-0 victory over Barnsley.
He has also played in England for Fulham and Portsmouth, with whom he won the FA Cup in 2008.
Luis Boa Morte has suprisingly signed a short-term deal with League Two side Chesterfield. The Portugese Winger, who has also played for Arsenal and Fulham, will stay at the club until January. The 35 year old's presence will add a wealth of experience to a Chesterfield side that is looking to bounce back from relegation from League One at the first attempt.
Spireites manager Tommy Wright was quick to express his delight at finalising a deal for the midfield veteran. He said: "To have a player of Luis' quality coming to Chesterfield is a fantastic coup for us. It's great that a player of his ability wants to play football. The financial aspect of the deal was no worry - he just wanted to come and play."
Boa Morte was signed for West Ham in January 2007 for an undisclosed fee, which was believed to be around £5 million, by then-manager Alan Curbishley. In August 2011 Boa Morte's contract with West Ham was cancelled by mutual consent. He made 91 appearances in total, scoring only 2 goals.
