Now, it appears he is set for a return to theat the London Stadium, though there is reportedly an issue with negotiations.
reported on Saturday night that the Scotsman wanted a longer deal than the one currently proposed by Hammers officials, and was holding off on signing as a result.
It is possible that West Ham are proposing a short-term deal until the end of the season - like the one he previously signed with the club, though that has not been confirmed.
