Luis Boa Morte is expected to wrap up his £5million switch to West Ham later on Friday with Matthew Etherington joining Fulham.
The Cottagers' captain was believed to be at Upton Park on Thursday undergoing a medical with Alan Curbishley's side after a deal between the sides was struck according to widespread reports in the English media.
Fulham have been loath to lose Boa Morte in the past having rejected offers from Newcastle United for his services back in the summer of 2005.
However, manager Chris Coleman has deemed the former Southampton and Arsenal man expendable following an injury-hit campaign.
The Welsh tactician has offset the loss of the left-sided man after reportedly securing former Spurs and Peterborough winger Etherington.
The 25-year-old has been a regular for The Hammers this term, but has been allowed to leave in order to move Boa Morte across London.
Boa Morte confirms move
Luis Boa Morte has confirmed he has agreed to move to West Ham.
The Portuguese international is set to tie up the move to Upton Park on Friday after Fulham accepted a £5million offer for the winger.
The former Arsenal man believes the time is right to seek a new challenge after six years at Craven Cottage.
"It was just the moment for a change to another big club and continue my story in England.
"The decision was not easy for me.
"They offered me an excellent contract. West Ham offered me more money than Fulham."
Boa Morte is ready for the challenge of trying to help West Ham avoid relegation.
"I have always given my best for Fulham and now I begin a new era in my life," added Boa Morte. "A complicated challenge in my career.
"West Ham are in the relegation zone, but I believe that it is possible to recover so that we can stay in the Premier League."
actually west ham have a lot of good players. the team just cracked for no reasons.
i think the problem lies with morale. it is up to the manager to do something about it.
the same can be said of charlton.
