WEST HAM have been quoted a monster £200MILLION price tag for Coventry City star Haji Wright – according to a report.
The Hammers are deep in a relegation battle and will be hoping to add firepower as part of their January recruitment drive.
Nuno Espirito Santo and his troops already have ground to make up and currently occupy a bottom three spot.
They are FIVE points adrift of safety and nearest rival Nottingham Forest and face a crucial period in the next four games.
Between December 27 and January 6 they play four games with three of those at home against Fulham, Brighton and Forest.
The one away day on January 3 is at basement boys Wolves – who are yet to win a game this season.
The Telegraph reports that despite facing financial challenges, money will be found to fund deals because relegation simply cannot be contemplated.
But sales and loan deals may need to happen in order to help facilitate deals.
A striker is high on the list with Jorgen Strand Larsen of Wolves a name mentioned and Crystal Palace also keen.
But they booted out a £55million summer offer from Newcastle United.

Coventry City’s Ellis Simms is an alternative option but it is reported that the Sky Blues would be ‘highly unlikely’ to contemplate getting around the negotiation table over a deal.
His team-mate Wright has also caught the eye with an enquiry reportedly put in to the Championship leaders – who dismissed it and responded with a monster £200m price tag.
West Ham have managed just three wins from 17 outings to date.
In that run they’ve found the back of the net 19 times – giving an average of just over one goal per game.
