Marlon Harewood could be set for a surprise cut-price move back to West Ham. [LNB]Hammer time: West Ham could re-sign Harewood[LNB]The former Hammers striker ihad been on loan at Newcastle but Chris Hughton seems in no mood to take him to St James' Park on a permanent basis and the player has been sounded out about an Upton Park return.[LNB]Gianfranco Zola is working within a restricted budget and would be able to prise him out of Villa Park for a fraction of the £4m that Martin O'Neill spent three years ago.[LNB]Harewood is out of contract in the summer and, with Carlton Cole still sidelined and Zola's options restricted by the limited finances available, a switch back to the capital could suit both parties.[LNB]Hull boss Phil Brown may also be interested in a permanent deal if O'Neill sanctions Harewood's departure.
