Hammers increase bid to land striker
Previously the same website claimed West Ham had already agreed a fee agreed after meeting his release clause of around £6.5m but now conveniently they claim the fee only applies to clubs in Belgium, while for clubs outside Belgium a release fee over or close to £9m is what the Belgians are demanding.
Reports claimed the Hammers initial bid for 7 million pounds was rejected by Eupen also claiming West Ham were not a big enough club. The new report from our favourite Nigerian football site claims a fresh bid of around £9m was launched by the club on Tuesday after talks with Eupen negotiator Mogi Bayat.
Belgium club Anderlecht are also said to want the striker and feel sure they can land him for £6.5m if the striker does not secure a move to the Premier League.
