The 19-year-old made 22 appearances for the Hammers last season, mostly from the bench, but manager Gianfranco Zola wants him to gain more first-team football.

Sheffield Wednesday and Peterborough United were also interested in taking Sears to the Championship, but he has stayed in London with a move to Selhurst Park.
