Kurt Zouma
Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma is still on top of David Moyes’s wishlist, with talks continuing according to reports from the London Evening Standard. (London Evening Standard, August, 17).
The European champions are said to be willing to offload the French centre-back for a fee set around £25 million,
But the player’s wages are thought to be an issue with Zouma demanding over £100,000-per-week and West Ham may not be willing to meet those demands.

Nikola Milenkovic
23-year-old Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic’s proposed move to The Hammers has broken down; with Tottenham now in discussions for the player.
Moyes and company were confident a deal could get done prior to deadline day, the optimism around the deal came from the player having less than a year left on his current contract and doesn’t want to sign a renewal.
A fee for the player was thought to be around €15-16m (£12-13m) but the London club has walked away from the deal after failing to agree on agent fees (Firenze Viola, August, 16).
